Windows Takes Long Time to Display Canon SD450 Camera in File Explorer

When I connect my Canon SD450 compact camera to my computer, Windows takes over 30 seconds to display the camera in File Explorer. The camera shows as an MTP device and not a drive. Photos can be accessed using the DCIM folder.

It appears that the driver is reinstalled every time I connect the camera to the computer and set it to the transfer mode. The driver is dated 6-21-06. Autoplay does not work with the camera but it does work with flash drives.

Here are the events that show for the driver installation. These four events repeat every time the camera is connected.

Would the driver reinstallation explain the 30 second delay? Is there any way to fix this problem?

When the same camera is connected to my Windows 10 computer, Autoplay works and File Explorer comes up almost immediately.

Thanks for any help.

It doesn't look like there are any Windows 11 drivers for the Canon SD450 which may be the problem.
They do show Win 10 (x64) drivers, though.
