Nexus 5 not showing up on Windows 8.1

Connecting my Nexus 5 using USB appeared to have stopped working. In Device Manager I could see some ACER ADB devices. I uninstalled the drivers from device manager. Connected phone again, another ACER ADB was showing.

To solve, I selected the ACER ADB device in Device Manager, right click and choose

Properties => Driver => Update Driver => Browse My Computer for Driver Software => Let me pick from list => MTP

Then your Nexus 5 should show up.
