Windows 10: No longer able to send or respond to messages in Phone Link for iOS

Since the beginning of this week attempts to send messages in Phone Link either reply to a message or create a new one result in a "Your message couldn't be sent. Retry" error. Retry fails as well. Phone shows as Connected. Toggling Bluetooth on either device or rebooting the PC does not help.All other features notifications, calls are working as expected. Incoming messages are still displayed although not consistently.Also tried deleting device from Phone Link app and repeating the setup link/pair.Bluetooth settings for PC connection:Show Notifications OnSyn Contacts OnPhone Favorites

Hi Nuno,
