When this Android 15 smartphone is connected to my Windows11 PC via USB,
it does not show up in Windows Explorer at all. And no message on the
phone about allowing access.

  Does it not show up at all or does it not show any folders/files?
Normally, there should be an icon with a picture of a phone and the
name of the phone. Mine shows a smartphone, i.e. just a screen. and
"Frank's Galaxy A51".

  If you *do* see the icon+name, but no folders/files, that's probably
because your phone is (screen) locked. If so, just unlock the phone and
follow the prompts, if any.

       Therefore I use an app, Cx File Explorer,
for transfering files between Phone and PC. I have tried different
cables: one with USB-A in one end and USB-C in the other, and one with
USB-C in both ends.

  Use the cable which came with the phone! That cable should allow
charging and data transfer.

My old Android 4 phone is visible in Windows Explorer on PC when
connected via USB, and files can be transferred.

  If the cable is the right one and not defective, it's probably a
matter of installing the right USB driver on your computer. The
website/documentation of the phone should be able to help you with that.
It may be as simple as installing the needed devices/drivers with Device
Manager. You should have a phone device under 'Portable Devices' and a
USB device under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (mine is called
'SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device').

  As your old Android 4 phone works, you can use that to compare which
devices should be visible in Device Manager, i.e. connect *both* phones,
unlock them and compare.
