Wireless File Explorer not avaible!

I updated Windows to the newest version and all my Apps are on the latest version, however it does not show up on m device. Is it because its ARM64? Can I manually add the feature?

Stuck at "Finish setting up your Notifications"

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Windows 11

App on my phone and computer are up to date.

All notifications and permissions for Link to Windows app are enabled.

I can't get past this prompt. My device will chime as if a notification has come through, but there's nothing there. I have trying clearing the cache, rebooting, unlinking and relinking, etc.

Any advice?

Link to Windows duplicate linked computers

I'm running Link to Windows on a Google Pixel 6, with Phone Link running on Windows 10. All software and operatining systems are current on patches/updates.

On Link to Windows -> Settings -> Link Account (1) (nunja@biz.ness) -> Linked computers I see my laptop listed 3 times with one connected and the other 2 disconnected.

Link to Windows says to go to Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Mobile devices to manage this device, which is of no help.

I've uninstalled Link to Windows and Phone Link a few times. On my Pixel 6, I've cleared the cache, cleared storage for Link to Windows to no avail.

Anyone know how to remove duplicate Linked computers?

Phone Link - when receiving calls it doesn't show up on my PC

When i receive a call on my phone, it doesn't show up on my PC. Until i answer the call on my phone, then i can see the box on my PC where i can hang up, mute etc.
So i cannot directly answer phone calls on my PC, i have to do it on my phone

Anyone else have experienced this?

Between Intel Unison and Microsoft Phone Link, which one is better if you have a Windows 11 Dell laptop and an iPhone 12? Discussion

I'd like to be able to see notifications from my iPhone on my laptop at least.

It would also be nice if I can at least view the text messages I receive on my iPhone, and maybe even being able to send messages. And it would be nice if I can see the whole history of a chat on iMessage on my laptop.

What do you all suggest? Thank you.

Windows 10 Phone Link Issues

Where can I go to edit the Phone Link notifications? I'm on Win10 and link to an Android. I'm in NYC but often the notifications show the weather in Santa Monica. No idea why. Also some birthday notifications appear several times. Thanks!!

Phone Link 'Unable to Connect'. Anyone know what my permission issue is?

This is with an Android phone.

It's been working for at least a year. I just added my machine to an Active Directory Domain that I set up.

If I log in with a local administrator account on the machine, I can setup phone link and it connects fine.

If I log in with a domain administrator account on the machine, I can setup phone link and it connects.

If I log in as myself on the domain, it will not connect. It thinks it's going to connect, but phone link ends with 'Couldn't connect to your mobile device'. It's a small AD system I just set up at work. I put myself in all the same groups as the Domain Administrator, but it still doesn't work.

It has to be some permission or group policy, but I can't figure it out.

How do you simply send an SMS to a number not in your contacts?

You type in a phone number and it searches your contacts for it.

So then I try to run the messaging app, and have to go up 2 flights of stairs to get the phone to give it permission for the 1000th time from the same PC to display my mobile screen.

I must be missing how to do it.

Phone calls don't work. Wired USB headset. Any permanent Solutions?

For a while up until early to mid-last year, the calling function was working great. I could make and receive calls with confidence that the caller/receiver would hear me. Lately, however, it has gone full mute no matter what I do. No sound to the headset and no mic audio to the call. All other functions work fine.

Fully uninstalling "Link to Windows" from my phone, removing the Bluetooth pair on the PC and phone, and forgetting the device on the PC (can't uninstall) will very temporarily solve the issue. But it will last maybe a day or hours until something changes like restarting, hibernating, maybe even just the screen off, I don't know what prompts it to stop.

The phone says it's connected to and using the computer for the call (not the phone/speaker, it shows my computer name as the audio output) but I can still hear the audio coming from the phone headset speaker and when I talk no one can hear me even through the phone. I have to switch the source to the phone or speakerphone for people to hear me through the phone.

All other audio output and input devices are disabled.

I have a Pixel 4.

Anything?
Otherwise, what other options are there for doing the same thing (making calls on my phone with my number through my computer on a headset)??

Thanks!

Hotkey for answering calls in VR

Is it possible to answer calls inside VR enviroment with a hotkey?

Is there any hotkeys at all? Ive been googling and cant seem to find anything relevant, would be nice with a hotkey to answer a call without interacting with the phone or the popup window on pc and then just map that to a hotas key.

Phone Link won't show history of iPhone messages on Win 11 Desktop

Having a frustrating time with this program ever since I switched to an iPhone. Phonelink successfully connects to my iphone and of course I have the "Link to Windows" app on the iPhone with full permissions. Windows will show me list of calls, the computer will even ring and indicate a call is happening and show "suggested contacts" under messages but DOESNT SYNC the history of messages so I can't see my conversation and comfortably reply to them / chat with people.

It even lets me SEND a message to someone, but won't show their reply or all past replies...

Phone screen not showing

I need help getting my phone screen to show on my PC. I started using it recently because I cracked the screen on my last phone and couldn't see anything to get my new phone set up. Had to guess with my pokes.

Anyway. Everything is working fine EXCEPT showing my phone screen which clearly is the driving force behind using Phone Link.

✅ Connected to the same wifi network

✅ Checked battery optimization in phone settings

✅ Checked Microsoft accounts working fine on PC (shared experiences)

These were all the suggestions I could find on Microsoft Support site. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which is also on the list of supported devices.

Help! Linking issues

I've been using this for quite a while, and though not the best tool, it worked without too much of a hiccup. They, with the Big 'T', changed something to be more helpful and it helped me right off the platform. I've been trying to reconnect it, but it goes through the entire processes, the phone says, "good to go...", but the PC says Unable to Connect. I've been fighting this for a few days now and I am not sure what is stopping me.

Android, Galaxy Note 20, Windows 10 Pro.
