Most people who choose to buy mobile devices that run on the Android operating system also decide to buy computers that run Windows because they seem to be a lot more convenient for people to use with apps like flashing tools. For example, the Odin flashing tool for Samsung devices is only available for Windows (or at least if you want just to connect and start using Odin without spending a day trying to get it working with some tricks up your sleeve on another operating system).
Because Windows is the most common desktop operating system to use it is the primary operating system that developers choose to cater to with things like flashing tools. However, there is one annoyance that often gets in the way of being able only just to connect their mobile devices to the computer that runs Windows with the USB cable and things just tend to work, and that is the USB Drivers.
Each OEM or mobile device manufacturer has their unique USB Driver packages, and you need to have the right one installed on the computer running Windows before you can do things like transferring of data or using apps and tools on the computer that expect your device to be connecting to it before it can work. The flashing tool being another prominent and beautiful example of that.
The Motorola brand makes that easy for Motorola device owners by offering what they call the Motorola Device Manager app that runs on the computer and with it people can install official software updates and also the USB Drivers for their devices. If you find that the Motorola Device Manager runs to heavy on the computer of your because you don’t have much space, then you might prefer installing something like the Universal Windows ADB Driver on the computer which is made by Koushik Dutta. What Koush has done is combine the USB Drivers from most of the primary manufacturers and bundled them up into the one file, so they work for just about everybody. However, sometimes if you are using an older computer that Universal Windows ADB Driver package doesn’t install, and thus it’s less reliable overall than the Motorola, Device Manager.
Installing the Motorola Moto E3 Power USB Drivers on Windows computers
Click the Motorola custom help page and then click on the “Download for Windows” button that is available at the bottom of the page. Be sure to check you are in fact clicking on the version for Windows and not the one that is there for the Mac operating system which is to the right side of the webpage.
After you have clicked on the file, it begins to download, and you see it from directly above the taskbar when you have the web browser open.
After the file has completely downloaded, and there is no time left remaining for the download, click on the “Motorola Device Manager” executable file and the setup wizard that you need to follow opens up.
Click on the “Next” button that is available at the bottom of the setup wizard page after you have read through the introduction that explains what you are installing and exactly what the Motorola Device Manager contains.
Make sure the box is checked for agreeing to the terms and condition so that the installation can proceed and then click on the “Install” button when it is done.
Wait for the installation of the Device Manager tool to complete. You know it’s done when the progress bar features in green works its way to the other side.
Click on the “Close” button when you get to the congratulations message and then it’s time to check out your new tool.
Windows 10 users can find it available from the recently added menu that is available directly from the Start menu.
Non-Windows 10 users can find it available from the “Downloads” folder by default since it is where all downloads end up on Windows operating system unless people have changed what the default download location will be which is possible with most versions of Windows to do.
Connect the Motorola Moto E3 Power smartphone to the computer with the USB cable and then you get a message on the display stating that it is checking for the new device software.
In conclusion, that is how to install the Motorola USB Drivers for the Motorola Moto E3 Power on a computer that is running on a version of the Windows operating system by using the Motorola Device Manager.

Same here. The computer pings to say something is connected. But my pc does not see it. Swiping from the top of the phone brings up the use for data transfer but it is a struggle to get that button to move there to select it. Like the phone is rejecting the connection to the computer. My devices finds an unknown device and updating this driver says there is an error on the driver (for the phone). My guess is a recent update from moto has trashed the driver. March 2017. Using the Motorolla driver update software on my pc just says the most recent is installed, but I am not even convinced it sees my phone.

If the Motorola Device Manager is not working for you guys, I recommend installing the Universal ADB Driver by Koushik Dutta. It also installs the Motorola USB Drivers on your computer for you when you install it. It’s very lightweight and simple. You can find it here: https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
