IPhone 8 photos not showing up on laptop when connected via USB?

I used to upload photos from my iphone 8 on my laptop with windows 10. I plugged it in via usb cable, then open the iphone, open the folders, and all my photos were there.

Now all of a sudden when I do that and open the folders, there's like 3 photos. Why is this happening? To the best of my knowledge I did not change any settings.

Try another USB cable or USB port. Or upload in icloud then download onto computer.
