The HTC MTP Device driver is a software component that allows your Windows computer to communicate with an HTC smartphone or tablet in MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode. This mode is commonly used for transferring media files (such as music, photos, videos) between your HTC device and your computer, as well as for other file operations.

When you connect your HTC device to your computer via USB cable, Windows should automatically detect the device and try to install the necessary drivers. However, sometimes you may need to manually install or update the HTC MTP Device driver to ensure smooth file transfer or to resolve connection issues.
