Your Phone App - Link to Windows not working

Has anyone found the secret to getting the Your Phone - Link to Windows App working correctly? Looking at the number of posts in other forums saying they have problems there is clearly a major issue with this App. It's a pity because it used to work quite well before recent Windows updates. Basically my phone (Samsung A515) will connect to Your Phone on my PC and I can see the headers of Notifications on my PC. If I try to read Messages or access Photos or open Desktop Apps it says I need permissions and asks me to click on a link to send a permission request to my phone. It never arrives. I don't see any permission request. Also it doesn't say what permissions are missing nor how to enable them. The response from MS is always to ensure that your phone and PC Apps are at the latest version (they are). I suspect there is a major bug in this App, yet others seem to suggest that it does work. Hopelessly confused. Winver: 21H1 19043 1237.

 

Your Phone app not working

Perhaps this may be of help clearing up some confusion.

If you do a search for "Your Phone" via the Windows 10 start menu, the result takes you to the "Your Phone" app page, which gives you the options to connect/sync your computer to your phone. It is the settings on that page that I have struggled with, because they lead you nowhere, with no way to complete the process. At least, that is my experience.

But there is another choice in that also shows up farther down in the start menu "Your Phone" the search results called "Link your phone". It takes you to a different settings page titled "Your Phone", but gives you options not found on the Your Phone "app" page, including the ability to add a device, and most importantly, "unlink" your phone. This is the crucial step, which will lead you to the next step of re-linking your phone on your computer. You will come across a popup that displays a QR code (you will be asked to scan this QR code in a further step), and you will be asked to install the the Your Phone app on your phone (even if it is already installed), upon which it will then offer you to confirm the process by either scanning the QR code, or signing into Microsoft.

For me, for whatever reason, scanning the QR code did not work, but signing into Microsoft did complete the process.

 

Your Phone app is not working

Hi,In my old PC (Intel core i7 2600k, Asrock Z77 extremes 4) I can use Your Phone app in windows 10 for a while, but after one update It's disappeared: just show app in 3 seconds and close immediately. Now I replace to AMD 5600x + MSI B550M mortar wifi, but I still using my old SSD to clean install windows 11. Your phone app is not working so I return to windows 10 (version 21H2 OS build 19044.1415). In the first 3 day, Your Phone app worked perfect with me, but from yesterday, I can't use it again, It close immediately. I try to fix with this help:

1. Allow App to run the background.
2. Use Windows Store App Troubleshooter:
   
   
3. Terminal/Repair/Reset the Your Phone app in App setting
4. Unlink devices in Your phone setting

But nothing different, what can I do now?
