Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

I was able to fix this on my computer by following these steps:

1. In the Phone Link app on PC, go to Settings, click the My Devices tab, and use the ellipsis (...) menu on your device to remove it, then close the app.
2. On your phone (mine is an Android), go to Settings, Apps, Link to Windows, Open, then remove your PC from the Linked Computers section.
3. Restart your phone.
4. Re-link the phone and PC by restarting the Phone Link app on your PC and following the step to add your device.
5. Perhaps this is the critical thing, but I noticed in the Link to Windows app on Android, there is a toggle to "Sync contacts" under the list of Linked Computers, which was disabled for me. Turn this on.

Contacts are showing up again for me now - yay!

This seems to be a new thing and the above steps did not resolve it for me. I have come to rely on this. No names forces me to keep staring at my phone.

I'm doing the same thing. Thanks for the tip. Something went wrong with the MS Phone Link and it seems they are not acknowledging or fixing the issue.

I had to switch to Messages by Google. Works fantastically.

This issue began for me in mid-December 2022 and is getting worse. First it was only my wife's name which was no longer shown. Now there are about 12 contacts whose names no longer show.

I have tried Sumit's suggestion and have unlinked, uninstalled, and resinstalled and re-linked and still the same numbers do not link.

Google messaging is looking better and better . . . why continue to waste time and frustration on this . . . ?
