Windows 10: Can't pair Android phone with Link to Windows

I have used the 'Your Phone' - 'Phone Link' app for years with previous android phones, and I love the convenience of working with messages, pics, and phone calls from my computer.I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S22 and tried to pair directly from the 'Link to Windows' app on the phone, but I consistently get this message: "Looks like we got interrupted. Let's go back to the beginning so we can finish pairing your devices." I have worked on this problem for HOURS, with help from my husband, who is an I.T. manager at a University. We have tried every tip/trick that Microsoft has offered t

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

 

Pairing a phone to a car

Hi there
I've found also with Blu Tooth that the whole thing becomes unpaired if you have say a SatNav in your car with audio traffic alerts / warnings enabled. Same thing can happen with an inbound call.

If your car has a decent AUX IN it's probably easier to use the headphone output from your phone to the AUX in if you car has one. Mine has a decent Aux in by the central "lift up" console (coffee mugs, space for change etc) where I can put the whole phone in it.

I don't make or receive calls on mobile phones while driving.
On our roads even looking at a satnav while moving can be dangerous at times -- we need to keep our eyes on the road 100% of the time -- lot of black ice around -- very hazardous - so putting phone out of reach and just playing music etc is just fine done that way.

Phone Link on Android

No. I link my phone to my computer with MyPhoneExplorer and have done so for a decade with different computers & different phones.
MyPhoneExplorer links Windows computers and Android phones reliably - TenForums

Best of luck,
