UPDATE 8/19/14: Finally found something that works: a Windows Update for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1. USB debugging needs to be on for the device to show up. This is the easiest fix I've found, and it's from an official source to boot. Thanks to all those who helped.
I haven't been able to connect my Galaxy Nexus to my Windows 8.1 PC. When using Samsung's drivers, the device setup manager was hanging here, and never progressed:
When using the phone in developer mode with USB debugging enabled, my Windows device manager would show an MTP device, but I still didn't have access:
When I right clicked on that, and chose to update the driver software, this was the message I got:
Since I was planning on flashing to Cyanogenmod anyway, I just went ahead and did that. After flashing to CM11 (using the CM installer), Windows automatically installed a driver for the phone when I reconnected. In device manager now, it shows up as Android Debugging Bridge, but Windows still won't give me access to the phone's storage:
I've got debugging turned off on my phone, and USB connection set to MTP, so I'm not sure why the phone is showing up as ADB. And I can't figure out for the life of me why nothing I've tried works. I've tried googling the problem, and every fix I've tried hasn't worked. The only cause I can think of is a bad USB cable, but I've tried three different cables, and all of the USB ports on my computer (3.0 and 2.0). That said, I don't have the OEM charger or USB cable, just a new HTC charger that came with the phone (bought used), a Kindle USB, and my previous phone's USB. Further more, if the USB cable, or the USB port on the phone were somehow defective, why would I have been able to successfully flash the phone to CM11 at all?
Can anybody help me out?
