this was the fix for me. I opened phone link, clicked on settings, and under features, i clicked the drop down for messages. I made sure the toggle for ON was checked. and then i selected "show replies from group chats as individual messages"

all of a sudden i started getting my messages.

Hope this works for anyone looking!

    That might have been the trigger for me, too. But as flaky as the connection is, it seems like the app and the phone can easily get out of sync. Right after posting my earlier reply I reset everything and started over, and the PC immediately showed all the messages that were showing on the phone notifications.

    I feel like I've reset everything a few times already and I still can't get it to work properly.

    Same issue here.

    Clearly, this "solution" isn't fully baked. Besides, what good is an only "partial" solution? You can't see previous messages? You can't send an emoji? You can't send an image or an attachment? An "iOS limitation"? They seem to be able to do it just fine on a Mac and an iPhone. I guess what you're implying is that Windows has a limitation on what it can (and can't) do on an Apple product, hence a half-baked product. That's unfortunate.
