Windows 10: Can phone link be used if the device it is paired with is broken? I just linked my iphone....

My question pretty much explains it. I will restate here. Can phone link be used if the device my iphone it is linked to is broken. I was hoping to be able to make and receive calls if something happens to my phone.

iPhone not linking with Phone Link app

iPhone not linking with Phone Link app, I scan the QR code using the iphone app and it does nothing? Phone is paired with the computer using bluetooth. All I get in the iphone Link to Windows companion app is 'connecting'. It's been like this for 2+ weeks since the option appeared in the windows Phone Link app. I've tried forgetting the computer and reconnecting to no avail.

Any ideas?

 

Pairing a phone to a car

One thing I would add ... There should be a list of paired devices on the phone, If so it would be best if you "UnPair" any devices listed on the phone as well as the phones shown on the Car. To Unpair a device from an Android Phone go to Settings, Bluetooth and there should be a list of paired devices - at the right of each paired device is a "Cog" icon click on this and click on the unpair option, repeat for any other unneeded devices.

Sometimes paired items get out of sync and both sides need to be removed to re-pair

 

Settings links broken


Looks like some of the links in Windows Settings are broken (I think they only broke after the Anniversary Update). If anyone knows how to fix this it would be most welcome.

• In Settings>System>About, clicking "Device Manager" at the bottom of the page results in an error:
  
  
• Every link to Device Manager in Settings gives the same error
• System>Display>Advanced Display Settings>Color Management, Color Calibration, ClearType text, and Display adapter properties give an error
• Devices>Mouse and Touchpad>Additional mouse options: error again
• Network & Internet>Change adapter options: error
• Probably many more links are broken, I didn't bother to check.

Seriously, WTF Microsoft. And I'm usually the one who never has any problems with Windows, so this must be serious.
