Windows 10: Your Phone App no longer runs

Hi

Looking for some help with the Your Phone App.


I have been using the app for a while without problems other than the occasional error connecting to my phone. Last night my PC rebooted and now the app will not launch. When I attempt to launch the app all I get is a white square with a blue phone in it picture posted below



I went through the process of attempting to repair the app. The process never completed. Just sat there. I then attempted the reset app process. Same thing, just sat there. The uninstall is grayed out. I attempted to reinstall from the MS App store. At first it says the app is installed, then after a few seconds it will pop up the download button. Click the download button and it just sits there at zero percent. Never downloads. After about an hour I gave up.


Did a search through community questions about Your Phone app no longer working. Found one post that suggested running sfc / scannow. That completed and did not find any integrity violations. Same post also suggested running Dism /Online / Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. That ran and did not return any issues.


At this point I am looking for suggestions on what to attempt next. I saw one more post that gave a link to an external site to download a Windows 10 App Uninstaller. But before I attempt this I thought I would reach out to you guys for help


Thanks

Doug

I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular Windows Phone-Apps – Microsoft Store

You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:

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.

When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.
