Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

it showed up in my contacts view, as a separate list. if the extras are in the default list, I dont recall a solution. I'm referring to the PC side. on the android side they aren't discernable I think. sorry

How did you manage to delete them? On outlook.com? It's not a list, it is a Category, and I have not found a way to delete my 12 000 contacts other than one by one, with a confirmation question in between.

I recently had a similar problem with only about 1000 contacts. I noticed in Outlook a new contact list had been created with a "sync to..." name. Wth, I deleted it things returned to less that good, but functional.

Whatever you do, do NOT turn on the contact sync option on the Link to Windows app on your android-phone. I did that mistake a few weeks ago. At first, I got the contact names back in Your Phone-app on my PC, and I was very happy.

But today, all my conctacts disappeared from my android phone. I then discovered that Phone link had duplicated my 100+ contacts to 12 000 contacts in outlook.com. Some contacts are duplicated several hundered of times. They are all categorized under the lable "Pixel 4 - Synced by Link to windows". Total madness, total disaster.

And you can't delete them - if you select more than one in the outlook.com contacts list, the delete button dims out. Also, some duplicate contacts don't allow for deletion.

This is just unreal. I have now idea how to get rid of these.

Happened again today. There are numerous threads running on this topic. There isn't enough time to go through them all to see if anyone has found a fix. Switching to another product may be the only answer.
