By luck, I tried a setting on SideQuest (mtp) and it allowed the pop-up in explorer. 

I'm calling this is a hack fix, as I needed to use SQ to resolve - but at least for now it works.

 

If you are experiencing similar issues, resolution steps:

  1. install SQ
  2. open SQ
  3. connect and login to Q3 (in headset) and SQ (on pc)
  4. in SQ, click settings (top R corner, spanner icon), then click MTP

For me this caused SQ to reset, and the explorer window popped up.

Interestingly enough, SQ still shows MTP not activated - but whatever.. it works ;)

If you have developer mode enabled, you have to enable MTP notification (Media Transfer Protocol) in the Developer settings on the headset to make the pop-up appear. Otherwise MTP defaults to disabled.
