Ok that doesn't give me anything to work with as I cant see your device.
Or have a look through any error?
The error message with any information can help such as the reliability monitor or events errors?
Have a look in control panel administrative tools events errors applications or under windows

Refresh seems a bit of an extreme measure and a pain. All i'm trying to do is upload pictures from iphone to laptop!?

In this situation, maybe you could upload a dr.fone-Transfer. Because I'm using this and it helped me a lot: https://ios-data-recovery.com/transfer-photo-from-iphone-to-computer/
Just a thought, if your iPhone is running low on battery windows Live acquisition wizard may encounter a problem and for safety stop the transfer.
Are there lots of images?
You may have to wait a little for everything to update and catchup?
Could you have a look at your reliability monitor for any errors.
type into your search reli then wait a sec it will appear at the top click on that you'll get a graph with any errors reported over a period of time, click on any errors for more info.
How do you connect your iphone to your windows? Is it a laptop or desktop?
windows 7 or windows 8?
Laptop on battery only no ac?
Can you transfer from USB folder?
