Windows 10: Phone Link code generating problem

Since my phone's camera is broken, I wanted to match with the code. but my phone asks for a numeric code and my computer gives a letter code.

Link to Windows fails to generate QR code

I have never had a problem using Phone Link with My Samsung S21 when connecting to any of my desktop computers using a wired network connection or my laptops using a wireless connection. Note if there is a problem I just remove the respective devices on both ends and tried again.

BTW, I am using my ASUS laptop with Phone Link but it is not a registered device for my Microsoft account.

ON PC

1. Click Get Started





2. Click Sign In





3. Click Pair with QR code. QR code is shown on PC screen.





[B]ON PHONE[/B]

1. Start Link to Windows





2. Select Add computer





3. Select Continue. Point phone at QR code on computer screen to scan code. When done setup is complete.

 

Can't "Link to Wndows"

Thanks so much. I will certainly follow your tutorial in the future. I think resetting did the trick, and I was also able to set a pin code.

Question. I am confused about one ongoing step: "Go to www.aka.ms/addComputer" in your browser." A search for this, and other similar url's suggested in the Phone LInk setup always ends up the same way, with a trip to nowhere.





Clicking in those types of links end up in a blank tab

 

Link to Windows fails to generate QR code

My new phone was linked to windows at one point but stopped connecting. So I removed the phone on the PC and the PC in the phone app to start from scratch. When I get to the PC app trying to generate the QR code it either fails, saying "it's not you it's us..try again later", or hangs. Same results with a PIN. My MS account shows my PC as the only device.
