Connect to your Windows machine using the Files app on iOS.

Done.

 That would be OK if it worked. The transfer is one-way, iOS to Windows, unless there is a setting I'm missing. The iPhone drive appears to be read-only to Windows File Manager.

As always, you're missing something. At this point, the superficial nature of your investigations is a given
1. The transfer is BOTH ways if you have a Windows folder shared with read/write permissions.
2. You never even SEE the iPhone drive in Windows Explorer (if you use capital letters, that indicates a proper name, and the file manager for Windows is called "Explorer")
It works. Perfectly.
