Windows 10: Not all contacts' messages appear in Link to Windows.

I have an Android phone, a Win 11 desktop PC, and a Win 11 laptop. Until very recently the phone worked flawlessly with Link to Windows on both machines both sending and receiving.. Although I haven't knowingly changed anything, the desktop version of LTW is not receiving messages from at least one of my phone contacts. If I search for his name, the name isn't found. I can start a msg conversation with him by manually entering his phone number, and that message does show up on my phone, but it disappears on the LTW on the desktop PC. What's happening and how can I fix it?

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Email contacts missing

1. If you open Mail app and click the + sign for New mail > type first couple of letters of a contact name > will a list of suggested names appear ?

2. Go to All apps > scroll to P > click People. Is the contact list there ?
