Windows 10: Microsoft Phone Link on your Galaxy smartphone - this keeps repeatedly asking for permissions

HI, the link to windows feature works perfectly well, however every day when we reboot the phone or laptop it keeps asking us to give permission in the screen where is says "Start recording or casting with link to windows" there is an option to start now or cancel. Can we permanently make it so start now is always enabled. Its not always possible to be physically present at the phone to keep selecting START NOW. Hope someone has some ideas

:)

 

Razer Phone Unveiled, First Smartphone with 120 Hz Display

at that price .... it better had ... *Laugh :laugh:

ohhh original positioning .... ok 3 pro in a sea of cons (the main one would be "being Razer") 4000mAh, original FPscan position (not that much tho .... Sony has the same placement) and 8gb RAM (actually .... even 2gb is enough nowadays for a phone ....)

yep ... tho nothing a MOGA mini can't handle (when supported tho .... luckily the main app i use does, PPSSPP)

i think the mean "esport phone" rather than gaming .... after all Clash of clans is a esport title .... [sarcasme]and yeah having a "Razer" phone would be a huge leap forward [/sarcasme]


actually only games specially developed for the Shield series from Nvidia are quite demanding and can be classified as slightly higher than "casual gaming", but that Razer has a fairly standard SD835 that every one else have .... the only "edge" they advance is the hability of selecting refresh rate (which would be 60hz most of the time for any "heavy games" and 90/120hz for streaming and cardboard) and resolution (1440p at max would have the same practical use as the 90/120hz refreshing rate outside casual games )


yep clearly a gaming phone ...

  • Razer Phone 39

the OnePlus 5/Huawei Mate 10/ HTC U11/LG V30/Moto Z2 Force are far more interesting choices (Samsung/Apple share my "love" for Razer but only for phone instead of all they "manufacture" )

even better *Laugh :laugh:

bottom line it's a standard flagship spec that has the issue of being branded Razer and a pricetag that is not so bad (after revision ... it's cheaper, just like the Nokia 8 tho that one is a whole 200$ cheaper than Razer's offering where i am, than a S8/S8+/8S/8S+/X )
tho the "plus" offered by Razer are ... limit gimmicks (60/90/120hz, variable resolution, 8gb ram and Nova Launcher Prime) only the 4000mAh battery is worth something (i'm fine with my meager 3000mAh tho )

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.
