KOBO Arc no longer connects to Win 10

Hoping someone can help with this.

Been using this Kobo arc for at least 10 years on this computer with no problems.   As of tonight, it no longer connects (last time I connected was only a week ago or so).  I see the Arc in the device manager but with a question mark.  Information, shows no driver loaded.  When I try to update the driver using the update driver dialog, I get message that the MTP USB Device system file was not found.  I locate wpdmtp.inf in the Windows/INF folder, but right click/install yields a 'file not found' error.  

Kobo Arc connects to WIn 11 computer no problem using the same cable.

Tried various fixes found on internet, but haven't found anything that works.  

Nothing else, including other USB periperals, are acting weird or unusual.  

Win10 Pro Ver 10.0.1945 build 19045
