Windows 10: Phone Link not connecting with Android phone, but phone says it is connected.

Recently, Phone Link on my laptop is requesting me to connect to my Android phone using a QR code or manually. Scanning the QR code gives a link to be copied, but that link is not valid. I cannot get pass that screen. On my Android phone, I have Link to Windows installed and that says it is connected to the laptop. Previously, I could use Phone Link without this trouble. I am using Windows 11, uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, not running any battery saver, have run Windows repair and Health Check, check drivers update but all this is of no avail. What do I do next?

No. I link my phone to my computer with MyPhoneExplorer and have done so for a decade with different computers & different phones.
MyPhoneExplorer links Windows computers and Android phones reliably - TenForums

Best of luck,

"Your Phone" won't connect to phone after motherboard replacement

I've had the Your Phone app running for the last few months on my Windows 10 Pro PC, connecting to my LG V20 phone (Android v8). Last week my motherboard failed, so I replaced it and restored my Windows setup to a new SSD while I was at it.
Now the Your Phone app won't connect to my phone - it says: "We can't connect to your phone. Make sure that your PC and phone are connected to the internet".
The name of my phone (V20) is still displayed in the top left corner of the app Window. Both PC and phone are connected to the internet (via the same router). I have tried:
- Uninstalling and re-installing the Android app (and re-adding the necessary app permissions)
- Resetting the Your Phone PC app
The Android app says "Check your PC", and tells me to select "Send notification", but that option isn't available anywhere in the PC app that I can see.
Can anyone advise on how I can get re-connected to my phone?

...one step forward...one step back...after another re-installation of the Android app I was able to get as far as sending a notification from the PC app, and selected "Allow" when the notification came up on the phone. Now the phone says "Your phone and PC are linked", but the PC app still says "We can't connect to your phone"

Phone Link on Android

George,

I'm about to sign off for the night.

I do not know why you mention the type of WiFi adapter.

Have you managed to connect to your phone with MPE? The bottom of the computer's MPE window will say whether you are connected or not - "Phone connected [phone name] via [WiFi/whatever]".

I use MPE to transfer info between phone and computer. I do not know how you can send text messages using MPE. I think current Android versions stop MPE doing anything to even alter any existing text messages.
