Hi,
I have a new PC with Win 8.1 Pro x64. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and have installed the latest (I would suppose) Samsung drivers for Mobile Phones ver 1.5.45.0

Using it on my other PC with Win 7 Pro x64 anytime I plug the USB cable into the PC I see in Explorer the device and both partitions/memory of the phone being Card and Phone.
Using it on my new PC with Win 8.1 in Explorer I do not see anything anymore. How do I access phone data like on Win 7 PC?

I do not know if this can help but this is what I have in devices resources panel:
Under "Samsung Android Phone" I have Samsung Android ADB Interface
Under "Portable Devices" I have Samsung Mobile MTP Decice with a Alert yellow mark; but I have it for all other Card Reader devices.

I also find it strange, if I am correctly recall, that before installing Samsung USB Drivers I did not have any Yellow Alert mark on other USB card reader devices. Is there any correlation between installed Samsung Drivers or not?

Lastly, is there a direct and official URB for obtaining the most updated Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile phone or not? If so, which one is it so I can bookmark it?

Please advise.....

NOTE: I know this has no influence on device behavior on Windows but I have CyanogenMod 11 running on this phone. Just wanted to let you know.
