    In Phone Link, where did the circles with initials on the left go?


    Prior to today, I had a column down the lefthand side of Phone Link with the circles with initials in them and I could still see messages off to the right. Now, that column of circles is gone. Is there a way to get it back?

    :)

    Blue Circle Always Spinning

    Hi Connor,

    We appreciate your earnest effort to reach out with Microsoft Community. The blue loading circle which delays the command initiated by the mouse on your Dell Inspiration laptop might be caused by several factors, viz., an outdated driver for the mouse.,
    or a malfunction on the mouse hardware. To get you sorted, kindly answer the questions below.

    • Were there changes made prior to the issue?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you have done in an attempt to resolve the issue?

    For case isolation, we suggest that you install the driver for the mouse directly from the manufacturer's website.

    We will be waiting for your immediate response.

    Can't "Link to Wndows"

    Thanks so much. I will certainly follow your tutorial in the future. I think resetting did the trick, and I was also able to set a pin code. Question. I am confused about one ongoing step: "Go to www.aka.ms/addComputer" in your browser." A search for this, and other similar url's suggested in the Phone LInk setup always ends up the same way, with a trip to nowhere.

    Clicking in those types of links end up in a blank tab

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
