When you connect your Mi6 to the PC, Windows normally takes care of the driver downloads and installs them automatically. But this process isn’t entirely reliable and may result in improper driver installation, or even no installation situation.
This may not affect you when you’re doing something as simple as transferring files to and from the PC, but may cause problems if you’re trying to update your device software manually.
The most straight forward and foolproof way to install all necessary drivers properly is through the installation of the Mi PC Suite.
Also, it’s best to stick with the USB cable that came with your device than using a third party one, where the latter could create connectivity issues which may disrupt data transfer especially when updating device software.
How to Install Xiaomi Mi6 USB Drivers
It’s best to remove any previously installed drivers, if any, from your PC before trying to install new ones. This will avoid any conflicts between old and new drivers for the same device.
