Windows 10: Workaround for overly aggressive Phone Link

Is there a workaround for the persistent problem of answering an incoming call on my iPhone then having to apologize to the caller for the interruption while I spend several seconds retaking control of the call on my phone after the Phone Link app has grabbed control of the call from my phone?The Phone Link app is convenient while working at my computer, and it's a terrible nuisance when I've stepped away from the computer. I'd like Phone Link to prompt me to take control of a call when it comes in and then do nothing if I don't direct it to take control. But I have not found a way to do th

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.

 

Roaming aggressiveness doesn't change anything

Hello _gjg,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Roaming aggressiveness is the rate at which your device selects and switches to the nearest available point of access, offering a better signal. The Sensitivity depends on the signal strength and quality, not on the distance to the Wi-Fi point.

In this scenario, you might want to reset roaming aggressiveness to check if it works out for you. To do reset, you will have to run a PowerShell command.


To check the existing value of Roaming Aggressiveness run the below command from an Administrative PowerShell Command prompt.

• Right click on the Start menu and select
  Windows PowerShell (Admin) and type the command as : Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty –Name “Wi-Fi”
  
• Make sure to change the Wi-Fi string to what your adapter is called.
  

To set Roaming Aggressiveness, execute the following commands from Administrative PowerShell Commands.

• Set-NetAdapteradvancedProperty -Name “Wi-Fi” -DisplayName “Roaming Aggressiveness” –DisplayValue “1. Lowest”
  
  
• Set-NetAdapteradvancedProperty -Name “Wi-Fi” -DisplayName “Roaming Aggressiveness” –DisplayValue “5. Highest”
  

Hope it helps.
