I have suddenly inexplicably lost the ability to transfer files from my Android phone to my laptop with a USB cable. The error simply says "error copying file or folder. Access is denied". It was working fine up until just now

I'll have to check when I get home. But I just remembered that right before this happened I may have accidentally changed some sharing settings while I was trying to get into an external folder that I mistook for my phone

If you have System Restore turned on, give that a try. Pick a date before you changed the setting. That should reverse what you changed.
