After you finish activating USB debugging, you can directly test it on a PC or laptop. No need to restart the phone or other additional steps. Just make sure the port/plug that is used is still normal and there are no problems.
Check the quality and type of your USB cable
Make sure the USB cable used is of good quality, don't use fake cables!. Currently, there are many types of USB cables being sold, some are only for charging (charge only) and some can be used for file transfers.
Not all "charge only" cables are fake because there are several big brands that sell "charge only" cables. This cable is indeed focused on charging the battery/power on the cellphone with a strong conductivity like a cable for fast charging. And of course, a cable that can only charge the battery is cheaper than a USB cable that can transfer data even though it's both fast chargings.
The phone's default USB cable usually supports data transfer, just make sure the port/plug is still good and there are no problems such as dust or rust.
