My Your Phone app is duplicating messages sent, sporadically. This has been happening the past few days. Windows and Your Phone apps have been updated. The duplicates are appearing in my Android texting app (Textra) as well. I have used Pulse, Google Messages, and Samsung Flow previously w/o this occurring.

Windows 10 Pro 1903

Android Pie, standard, non-rooted ROM

'Advisors', please don't ask me to run scannow or complete a repair install...thanks.

    Same here, s20 ultra, W64 latest updates as of 5-10-20.

    Worked fine for the first few weeks, now it's ****.  Duplicates, constant failures to send, then it does later.  As usual there really is no help to actually solve the problem from MS so I'm about to ditch it and go back to Pushbullet, which was flawless, quick and had more features.  

    Also the copy from my pc to the app doesn't work despite having it set to do that.

    Not having issues with duplication with wifi turned on, on phone anymore.

    Been running with wifi enabled on phone prettty much continuously for a week or better with no duplicates.

    Definitely a work in progress. For a stretch there I could copy an image from computer and paste in to Your Phone app which was real nice bu that quit a while back. Now have to save as image then use the image insert icon at bottom to load image to Your Phone app.

    It pastes an empty like carriage return on phone. I t does still copy test from say a website to Your Phone.

    Latest issue for me is when I go out of Bluetooth range with phone and come back it can be a little flaky getting the phone and laptop to reconnect.

    I'm in the MS Insider program and had downloaded a pre-release update to Win 10 and I'm pretty sure that corrupted my Bluetooth functionality on HP laptop. Had to update the HP  BIOS to get the Bluetooth back.

    I know longer have any issues with duplicate texts on phone. I've had wifi enabled for probably a month now with no duplication.

     I had some major problems with Bluetooth on laptop which frankly I attribute to Your Phone as it uses Bluetooth connectivity in some fashion to link the two devices.

    KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BLUETOOTH ON COMPUTER!!
