You Phone/Companion Connection-Link

Hi,

Try this, if you are stuck on Check Your PC:

1. If you have multiple accounts in Windows, check "Shared Experience Settings" in Windows and click on "Fix Now".

2. Right-click on "Your Phone" app in Start Menu and select "Settings", it will sync with your phone and send notification to your mobile.

After that it will automatically ask on your mobile for required access (accessibility, notification access, etc.).

Thanks :)

This was a godsend. Thank you so much for posting this...I had been at this for MONTHS and couldn't figure it out. If someone is reading this with a problem...don't give up hope...use this advice here and hopefully it will also fix your issue.

Many thanks, This tut helped me successfully connect to my phone.

Holy ****.

This solution worked for me after trying everything else.
I followed your steps in the EXACT order and with the EXACT steps.
I think the difference from what I was doing was signing in on the PC first so it would get stuck. I signed in all the way on the phone first and then moved to the PC in the last step and it worked. Bless you.

Got it working...

Phone:  Samsung Note 10+

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.535] (1909)

ensure the following:

1)  On android > Settings > search for Notification Access > Notification Access > Find Link to Windows and enable

2)  Disable Pi-Hole or any tracker blocking software you have

3)  On Windows reset the Your Phone app in Settings > Apps & Features > Your Phone > Advanced Options > Repair, Also do the Reset.

4)  On your Android device clear cache and clear data of app in > Settings > Apps > Your Phone Companion, Force Stop > Storage> Clear cache, Clear data

5)  Uninstall updates and re-enable or Update Your Phone Companion

6)  Launch Your Phone Companion on Android.  I found this part troublesome as it wasn't showing up in my launcher.  To handle this I installed it from the Google Play Store.  After this it showed up in my Finder app search application.  Once this was running it asked me to sign in to the app.  Take it to the next screen after signing in and then move to your PC.

7)  Start Your Phone app on Windows 10.  At this point, I was then sent the text notification on my PC.  Nothing to do here other than Accept.  

I hope this helps someone.

Thank you, I needed to do that too...

Yup, that first step is really important.  I had this issue for several days and just solved it using step 1.  I had a problematic account with the Fix Now button showing...only it wouldn't fix!  The issue turned out to be an old Work/School account I was given when helping out at an on-line event a month or so back.  Unknown to me was that this account went away sometime after the event concluded and I forgot I still had it as a connected account.  The Fix Now button did NOT show me this account (it was no longer valid and available), so it couldn't fix it.  The light bulb came on when I found the account still listed as connected under Settings > Accounts > Access work or school.  The instant I disconnected this account from Windows 10, the Your Phone Companion app finished it's connection with my Android phone and things are normal again.
