Windows not detecting phone through USB
The issue I'm facing is that when I connect my Nothing Phone 3a to another computer, it can access the phone's local storage just fine. However, on my computer, it doesn’t show the storage at all, and I have no idea why. Other phones also don’t work on my PC in terms of file transfer, but charging works, and the devices are detected, just not their internal storage.
I'm using an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 running Windows 11 Pro N, and I'm connecting the phone via USB-C using the original cable that came with the Nothing Phone 3a.
It's NOT a phone issue. All developer options, USB debugging, and file transfer settings are correctly enabled.

It sounds like your PC recognizes the devices for charging but isn't detecting their storage for file transfer. This is a common issue that can stem from driver problems, USB configuration settings, or Windows settings. Since other phones also don't show storage, the problem might be with your PC's USB settings or drivers.
