How to Fix MTP USB Device Driver (USB device not configured correctly) on a Windows PC

Today, I connected my Android phone to my PC and I heard the USB connection sound but my phone’s storages weren’t detected (both Internal and SD card). This was rather weird as I’d used it fine a few days back. I checked under Device Manager and noticed that MTP had a warning icon (yellow triangle) on it meaning it had somehow malfunctioned. On right-clicking and selecting properties, I saw

This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)

This could only mean that my Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) driver was corrupted.
