Windows 10: Phone Link is no longer showing all of my messages

Samsung S24. Windows 11 Phone Link is no longer showing all of my messages. The messages are still on my phone. Anything older then February 4th has just disappeared. I have restarted Phone Link and Link to windows. Phone Link is latest version. Both are connected to the same wifi and account. There is a Recent button under the "Search messages" option but I cannot find a way to change it. If I click on the arrow all the messages disappear.

Phone Link app missing text messages

In Phone Link make sure your phone shows Connected. If it is Offline, click on

to try to resync the phone with Phone Link.

 

Messages are missing in Windows Phone Link app.

I have this same problem with my Samsung A54 phone. Message list is incomplete in Phone Link compared to what my phone actually shows. A large portion of my message list is not shown in Phone Link.

 

Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

I was able to fix this on my computer by following these steps:

1. In the Phone Link app on PC, go to Settings, click the My Devices tab, and use the ellipsis (...) menu on your device to remove it, then close the app.
   
2. On your phone (mine is an Android), go to Settings, Apps, Link to Windows, Open, then remove your PC from the Linked Computers section.
   
3. Restart your phone.
   
4. Re-link the phone and PC by restarting the Phone Link app on your PC and following the step to add your device.
   
5. Perhaps this is the critical thing, but I noticed in the Link to Windows app on Android, there is a toggle to "Sync contacts" under the list of Linked Computers, which was disabled for me. Turn this on.
   

Contacts are showing up again for me now - yay!
