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."

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Connect Phone and PC

    Got it working...

    Phone:  Samsung Note 10+

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.535] (1909)

    ensure the following:

    1)  On android > Settings > search for Notification Access > Notification Access > Find Link to Windows and enable

    2)  Disable Pi-Hole or any tracker blocking software you have

    3)  On Windows reset the Your Phone app in Settings > Apps & Features > Your Phone > Advanced Options > Repair, Also do the Reset.

    4)  On your Android device clear cache and clear data of app in > Settings > Apps > Your Phone Companion, Force Stop > Storage> Clear cache, Clear data

    5)  Uninstall updates and re-enable or Update Your Phone Companion

    6)  Launch Your Phone Companion on Android.  I found this part troublesome as it wasn't showing up in my launcher.  To handle this I installed it from the Google Play Store.  After this it showed up in my Finder app search application.  Once this was running it asked me to sign in to the app.  Take it to the next screen after signing in and then move to your PC.

    7)  Start Your Phone app on Windows 10.  At this point, I was then sent the text notification on my PC.  Nothing to do here other than Accept.  

    I hope this helps someone.

    This worked for me.  Fixed.  Thank you!

    Ahh, I'm glad it worked! My situation was a little different. Both my phone and my PC were on my employer's wifi. As soon as I placed both the PC and the phone on my personal wifi, voila. There really should be a way to accomplish the "reset" steps without having to trapse through a bunch of sprawling steps!
