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."

    For initial sign in and connection:

    In your phone app, go back to the page that says "you are signed in as..." and click "sign in with a different account." Use the QR code flow to sign in to your account again (click generate QR on the PC app). After scanning the new QR code, you should be unstuck.

    As of Jan 12, 2021, with the installation of the latest Windows 10 update (20H2 OS build 19042.746), my Windows Your Phone app is now working.

    I installed my OS updates, checked the Windows Store and pulled down the latest Your Phone version.

    I wiped the storage of the Android app and the Windows Store app to start fresh.

    They connected, paired, whatever. It's working now.

    I have no idea what changed.

    When running the Android app, it still launches with "Finish linking on your PC", and the Check your PC screen on Android shows, with the spinning wheel. Nothing happens on the PC. I cannot get past this screen on Android.

    But the main functions of the Your Phone app on Windows all work: Notifications, Messages, Photos and Calls.
