Why doesn't my PC see my phone

[KERNIC53]

I have a Droid z force but my PC doesn't see it when I plug in the USB cable

Is your USB setting set for charging only?  You may need to change it to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).  Not sure where it is on your Droid Z Force, but on my Droid Turbo 2 it is in Settings->Developer Options->Select USB Configuration.  You might look at: How to Enable USB Debugging Mode on Motorola Moto Z / Z Force / Z Play

The User Manual https://ss7.vzw.com/is/content/VerizonWireless/Devices/Motorola/Userguides/moto-z-force-ug.pdf has a section (page 54) on the USB-C cable use and settings for file transfer as opposed to charging only.

From the User Manual:

USB-C cables

To load music, pictures, videos, documents, or other files to

and from your computer, connect your phone to your

computer with a USB-C cable.

To transfer files, you need to specify the type of USB

computer connection you want to use. Swipe the status bar

down and tap USB for charging, then select the

connection type:

• Charging

• File transfers (MTP)
