Phone link error 256 with S22 Ultra

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.

    Interesting. On my S22 Ultra with Android 14, the Link to Windows app is 1.24102.101.0, ie. lower revision number than on your much older S10+ .

    The Link to Windows service version is 3.1.02.4 .

    Things are still broken as of today.

    I just installed Samsung Flow on both my laptop and my phone. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/samsung-flow?msockid=2bc6fcb098206df817fbe9bb99b26c1f

    I had never tried Samsung Flow before, and I don't think the screen quality is as good as Phone Link, but it will do until they fix Phone Link.

    Turns out there is a setting to increase screen resolution on Samsung Flow. I also like the notifications better than Phone Link's. I'm liking Samsung Flow more and more as I use it.
