hi I want to connect my android device to my hp windows 10 pro using the "You Phone' and " Phone Companion" but there is is know connection even though they are both connected to a WIFI hotspot from another device.

Please check your phone and tap allow."

    Same issue. Your Phone stopped working I believe after the last Windows update. 

    Does anybody have the same issue since the last update?

    (I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro with Android Pie and my desktop is on W10 1903 18362.267)

    Update: It works for me now. I cleared the data on Android and unlinked the phone from Windows, uninstalled on both platforms and started the process of connecting them again through the Windows Your Phone app and it worked! Both the Android app and Windows were updated since my last attempt so I am not sure what fixed the problem but it works now!

    EDITED: It works only half the time. I did as DavidGill2 suggested and installed Pushbullet and it works like a charm!

    A solution that worked for me was selecting use a different user and reentered same username and password.

    1. I had change password long ago and the app used previous credentials to connect.
    2. I use 2step verification.

    To Microsoft

    There should be an option when changing passwords to unlink you from everywhere. The app should have asked for

    proper credentials when changed password, but it didn't and suddenly stopped connecting!!
