I’ve installed the Samsung drivers, have my tablet in developer mode with usb debugging enabled, but when (from Windows 10 command line) issue adb devices, after it starts the server it shows no devices.
Anyone know what I need to do to get this working?
Here is instruction on how to enable developer mode to turn on ADB debugging on your device. It is pretty much the same on all Samsung Android devices.

As I stated in my post:

So, there’s something else going on that I need to do. What can I do to further debug this?
I haven’t tried on a tab but there should be a file transfer acceptance you have to allow on the android device before it is visible on your computer.

I think that’s the problem, when I connect the tablet to my Windows 10 computer, I don’t get the popup about allowing access to the tablet, so all it does over the usb is just charge (I can’t even transfer files). I spent an hour chatting with a samsung tech specialist, and they were no help. I’ve googled everything I can think of to no avail. I can’t get to the use usb as setting (or anything else that talks about MTP or file transfer, or whatever. I’m slowly losing my mind. I’ve tried downloading the samsung driver for android on windows, and everything else I can think of. Any ideas about what I should try?
Did you try to use WiFi debugging.

not sure what to do with this, can you point me at an explanation?
In the Developer Options when you turn on ADB debugging is there an option for WiFi debugging?
Also look for a setting to allow USB debugging

Yes, I see options for both USB debugging and Wireless debugging. How do I use them?
See this tutorial for USB and WiFi debugging.

ADB still doesn’t see the device. Note that in the past when I plugged the tablet into the PC, I got a popup on the tablet asking for permission to access it, but I no longer get that. Does that tell me anything?
On your PC developer options do you have debug over USB enabled?

Where do I set this on the PC?
In the settings select About Tablet
scroll down to the Software Information
Tap on the Build number 7 time and a popup for you pin will show. Enter it and Developer Options is available.
Settings scroll to the end and open Developer Options
for the settings scroll down and there is Enable USB Debugging
See if all that is correct and it it will log into your tablet. I only have an older tablet so I can’t test it myself.
