This is precisely why I use Pushbullet and gave up on this product. Unreal and ridiculous.
Great suggestion DavidGill2, Pushbullet simply works! Thanks!

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 echo that. I don't know why the Microsoft phone app stopped working all of a sudden, I tried everything - spending more than an hour clearing caches, reinstalling apps etc. Nothing.
PushBullet will do for now. The interface isn't as clean but it does work. (Added later: it works very well. I like it.)
I just hope there's no security risk :(

Does MS do *any* testing nowadays?

Nice.

I am glad that Microsoft is providing similar functionality. However, I hope they soon stabilize this feature. It is unstable in comparison to Apple's implementation.
