Windows 10: unable to update phone link

I run Windows 10 Pro on a Dell laptop. When I run the Microsoft store, I'm told that Phone Link which I can't use--my phone runs Android Go, not Android needs updating. Currently, it's hung on "Downloading", and has been for 45 minutes.So far, I have:run the Microsoft Store Apps troubleshooter--no help;run the Windows Update troubleshooter--no help;run "sfc" and "dism"--no help; andreset Microsoft Store--no help.At this point, I don't know what to do. Since "Phone Link" is the only app that needs updating, I can't tell for sure where the problem is--with the Store or with "Phone Link." Could

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

 

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
