Windows 10: Phone link error 256 with S22 Ultra

I have had Phone link working for years with my Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra.Recently, part of the functionality stopped working, specifically, the "open phone screen" part. I keep getting an error 256.The phone is on Wifi, connected to a Ubiquiti NanoHD.The PC is a desktop on 10 Gbps ethernet.Both are in the same /24 subnet, using DHCP with IP reservations in the router.The phone says it's connected to the PC. The PC says the phone is connected to it.I can see the phone's text messages & photos on the PC.I just can't open the phone screen on my PC, or show any app on my PC's screen.

Samsung S22 ultra freezes after using the phone link

I have a samsung galaxy S22 ultra and am using phone link app to transfer photos from phone to computer. I have Windows 10. I've been clicking on the picture for a long time to select and when I let go, it doesn't move and hangs. I couldn't do anything on my phone via phone link, so I disconnected my phone and opened it. I recognize my face but nothing on the phone's touchscreen works and the image I'm trying to transfer is stuck on the screen. I can't turn on my phone, can't even turn it off. It just got stuck. I have used many times like this and never had this problem. Please help. Image below of what it looks like when I press the buttons to try to turn off the phone. You can see the image I'm trying to transfer is stuck there.

Hi Tuannn. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

Try to manually reset or Factory Reset the S22:

Link to Windows : AltGr key with AZERTY keyboard not working with S22 Ultra

I purchased a Samsung S22 Ultra on Tuesday. I set it up with Link to Windows on my Windows 10 desktop. My computer has a French AZERTY physical keyboard.
I selected the French AZERTY keyboard in the Samsung keyboard.
The character keys work properly, ie. A is properly A, not Q.

However, I'm unable to type any of the following characters in any Android application using link to Windows.

All of them require pressing the AltGr key in combination with another key, and that doesn't seem to work at all in Link to Windows.

It looks like a bug in Link to Windows. I don't know if the bug is on the phone side or on the Windows side, but in any case, it makes Link to Windows unusable for me.

If I use Samsung DeX instead of Link to Windows, I don't have a problem with these characters.

Is there a solution or workaround for this bug ?
