Thanks for the alternate options. MS support is not helpful beyond reload Windows. Not sure if it's phone or PC but it used to work reasonably well. Two factor authentication doesn't work well with MS either. Thinking you're right, look elsewhere,
You Phone/Companion Connection-Link
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. My android is stuck in a loop saying " We're checking one more thing on your PC before we ask for a final permission, while my PC stuck on" We need permission to connect and access data onyour phone. Please check your phone and tap allow."

2020-06-20T09:57:03+00:00 I agree with DigitalDarrelYoung completely. My Windows 10 PC and android 8+ were working together until a recent update on my PC. Since then I get phone calls coming through on my PC but no texts or photos which was really convenient when I was working. I have tried a variety of trouble shooting tips and nothing works. It's very frustrating.
