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."

    I had the issue, figured out you need to download "My Phone" app from the MS App Store and run that.

    I had the same issue. However, on my laptop, when I tried to reconfigure it, it said this feature is not available in your location.

    I'm from Sri Lanka, so i'm guessing it's this issue. And if it is, you're probably not in US, AU, UK or CA. Because it only gives options for those countries.

    Try this if you haven't check whether your Wifi setting is "Not metered" on your phone.

    In your Android phone,

    Settings -> connections -> Data usage -> Restrict Networks

    Under the "Restrict Networks" menu, Check whether your current Wifi network "Not metered" or not.

    If it is "Automatic" then click and change to "Not metered" 

    then try the connection again and Enjoy!!
