Windows 10: Clicking links on notifications in Phone Link to Windows

I recently started using the Phone Link to Windows app on my pc and on the notifications I get there are sometimes links to hit to approve something sent to my phone, when i click "approve" in the phone link app, more often than not nothing happens. last night I i got it to work eventually but today nothing. what can I do to make these links work? thanks.

How can I disable the "Link your Phone and PC" notification in Windows 10?

The new "Continue on PC" feature that came with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update also includes a notification that pops up saying "Link your Phone and PC". Answering no or clearing the notification gets rid of it, but after some amount of time and/or a reboot, it continuously comes back.

Presumably, if you actually install the app to link your phone it will stop giving you the notification, and I am also aware that you can completely disable suggestion notifications; however, I do not wish to use the phone link feature and I would prefer not to disable all future suggestions, as I could possibly be interested in one of them. Is there a way to specifically disable a single specific suggestion notification?

 

All notifications links are all of a sudden bad links

@ Exfso

I tried to attach that same image that you loaded. Every blasted time is all I get now. I am giving up with notification-action from windows now. I am now just clicking on the notifications Bell from youtube webpage. I can also go through the subscription links also. Extra steps but what are you going to do ???????????? Since you use MS Edge then it can't be a browser issue. To get Ten Forums messages I am just going to windows webmail. I don't use the webmail for much I prefer gmail.com for my email. Windows Defender runs scans on a daily or at least every other day and nothing is coming up about a virus.

Other people have tried to be helpful but all their suggestions relate to NOT GETTTING NOTIFICATIONS. But you are having the same problem I am having. The Action center is showing the notifications but when we click on the link we are getting the goofy monkey with the magnifying glass and #404 errors which means the file or link cannot be found.

 

Link To Windows Not Showing Notifications For Phone Anymore

Hi Thompson,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Notifications sync irrespective of the device model. There are other certain features that work only with Samsung specific models.

I’m not receiving any notifications

You won’t see any notifications if:

Your laptop battery is low, or Battery saver has been turned On.

If Focus assist (previously known as Quiet Hours) is turned on. Learn how to turn Focus assist off

For some Android devices, your Battery Optimization settings may interrupt your connection. We recommend turning it off in the Link to Windows app on your Android device.

Open Android Settings > Apps & notifications > App info > Link to Windows > Advanced > Battery > Manage Battery Usage > Battery optimization. Scroll down to Link to Windows and then select Don't optimize.

On select Android devices, the steps may be as follows:

Open Android Settings > Apps > Link to Windows > Battery > Optimize battery usage. Select All from the drop-down list, scroll to find Link to Windows, and turn the toggle Off.

Note: If you have a Samsung device and are using Secure Folders, apps and files saved there won't display notifications in the Phone Link app. They'll appear only on your Android device.

My notifications have stopped syncing

Notifications work independently to other Phone Link features like messaging and photos. When they stop working, resetting the notification permissions should start the syncing process again.

On your Android device:

Go to Settings and search for Notification access.

Find Link to Windows in the list and toggle it off and then on again.

A popup will appear. Select Allow when prompted.

On your PC:

Open the Phone Link app and choose Notifications.

Wait for your notifications to refresh — they should now sync normally.

Keep us posted on the progress.
