    Phone Link app won't open


    I purchased a new Dell desktop with Windows 11 Home. I pinned the Phone Link icon to the taskbar during setup. It opened a few times but it stopped opening and didn't open a window saying a problem exists and how to fix it. It just stopped opening. In response, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Phone Link app. After reinstalling, it opened a few times but stopped and didn't open a window saying a problem exists and how to fix it. It just won't open. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Step 1: Run Windows app troubleshooter.

    Step 2: Run shell commands for Windows store and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Command prompt(Admin)       to open elevated Command prompt.

    • Type the following commands.

    • Hit enter, the blackscreen will appear still for a couple of seconds. After a couple of second a new line saying C:\.... will appear.

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular Microsoft Apps

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:
