I have had Phone link working for years with my Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra.
Recently, part of the functionality stopped working, specifically, the "open phone screen" part. I keep getting an error 256.
The phone is on Wifi, connected to a Ubiquiti NanoHD.
The PC is a desktop on 10 Gbps ethernet.
Both are in the same /24 subnet, using DHCP with IP reservations in the router.
The phone says it's connected to the PC. The PC says the phone is connected to it.
I can see the phone's text messages & photos on the PC.
I just can't open the phone screen on my PC, or show any app on my PC's screen.

I am having the same issue. I have 2 S21 Ultras and 3 computers: one with Windows 11 24H2, one with 22H2, and one with 23H2. The newest and oldest are on the same account and all on the same network. The app works, however, I can't display the screen on any machine. Tried restarting all devices, and disconnecting Bluetooth, on all the devices and can't get it to show the screen.
I started doing that out of frustration too. I haven't got there yet, but I see the screen change here and there. Hopefully it will finally work for me too.
Samsung Galaxy S22 having same issue today too. SMH
Yup. Having the same issue on both my S23 Ultra and my Galaxy Tab S9. So clearly an MS issue. Seems to have coincided with a recent Windows update. Sadly smashing "Try again" doesn't do anything. Unpaired and repaired devices. Nada. I just keep waiting to see an update - hope it comes soon so I can resume productivity as normal.
Same issue here on my S22. Started after the last update to Phone Link. I guess we deal with it until MS realizes the problem and fixes it.
