if you plug your phone into a computer and tap on the mtp notification it should bring up the usb pc connection window. if you tap the menu there should be an option for "install PC drivers". The phone should then show up as a cdrom drive with the drivers ready to be installed!

LG G4 drivers are available in this file. LGUnitedMobileDriver_S52MAN314AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.14.1
I went through this with my GS4, but can't seem to get the magic incantation right for the G4. I downloaded and installed the LG Mobile Drivers and see a "VS986 Portable Media Player" listed in Computer (Windows 7 x64) when USB PC connection is set to either MTP or PTP. Additionally, in the Device Manager an "ADB Interface" shows up without a driver when PTP is selected, but I can't find the phone listed in 'adb devices'.

How do I load the correct LG Mobile Drivers so that my system recognizes the ADB Interface?

This ended up being the very simple solution:
if you plug your phone into a computer and tap on the mtp notification it should bring up the usb pc connection window. if you tap the menu there should be an option for "install PC drivers". The phone should then show up as a cdrom drive with the drivers ready to be installed!
For a brief moment, when you plug the phone into the PC, the "USB connected" notification shows "Connected as an installer" and the PC has a new CD drive. Double-click the CD and launch the installer. Once it completes, you'll have an Android Device -> LGE Mobile for VZW ADB Interface which makes 'adb devices' happy. Don't forget to authorize your computer through the pop-up on the phone.

Thanks lart2150!

Finally got mine working. A couple of things to note.

Under device manager my LG G4 was listed as a portable device -> G4

I was not getting the pop up window on my phone. I toggled developer options from on to off back to on and was then prompted to accept the RSA key fingerprint (on the phone)

All is now working.

After installing this driver, I noticed my Device Manager had an exclamation point next to the G4. I was able to fix this by right clicking on the G4 in Device Manager, selecting Update Driver Software..., Browse my computer for driver software, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and then I selected MTP USB Device and hit Next.

My G4 was recognzied as a normal MTP device after that.

Just wanted to say thank you. Was up a few hours last night trying to figure the driver issue out without much success and couldnt get my phone to get recognized by Win10, but your post fixed it perfectly for me. Thanks again!

Hello, sorry to bring this up again but i have a very disturbing problem... whenever i connect my LG G4 to my Windows 7 Notebook i select the MTP/PTP category. I hear the sounds on the notebook as if sth was (dis)connected, i can see the G4 in "Devices and Printers" (unassigned) but not in the File Manager at all :( If i open the device manager, i just see a "Google Nexus ADB Interface" under "Android Device". Whenever i connect it to my wifes notebook (where i never ever installed any LG drivers) it works without problems :-/ It's really frustrating and i dont know what to do...

if this can help

Hi. Sorry for writing here so many years later, but I hope I can help somebody coming to this thread.
If Windows does nothing when you connect the phone, try to uninstall (don't delete drivers) the USB Hubs one by one from Device Manager, then do a new hardware scan. Windows/adb detected my LGG4 this way.
I see Windows going a bit crazy with some USB devices. I get pendrives recognized on one USB connector and ignored on others! I think that using Safe Extract, sometimes 'extracts' not only the device but the whole USB Hub or card reader.
Regards.
