Some folders and files not showing up on PC when connected via USB

Question

My phone doesn't have an SD card in it right now, so all storage is on internal memory. I have a bunch of folders in my Pictures folder that don't show up on my PC when I connect it via USB (but most folders do appear). I know they're there because they appear in my phone's file manager (in both the native Google one and a third-party one). How come I can't see them?

Answer

This is a known issue. Go to app manager and find 'external storage' and 'media storage' and clear data and cache for them, then reboot, and wait up to 10 minutes and then connect to PC via USB.
Sometimes media scan apps from play store help if you don't want to reboot.
