Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

Now on my third time uncoupling and reconnecting the phone and computer. Fix works but is ridiculous hassle.

Hi John,

yes, I too have just today had to rest again. This is embarrassing of MS, and frustrating for the users/customers.

They just don't give a rats about these little details.

Cheers,

Barry

This also worked for me. I'll keep monitoring to see if it stops.

One thing I'll point out regarding the "Sync Contacts" toggle. I noticed late last year my contacts in Outlook.com had over 1000 duplicate entries, always just the cell number and nothing else from my original contacts. I noticed a category in my contact list I hadn't created called "Pixel 6 Pro (contacts synced by Link to Windows)" that was filled with all the duplicates. There's no way to easily delete them, I had to go through one-by-one.

I turned the sync option off and it seemed to have helped. But I'm noticing now that they're being created again with "contacts synced by Link to Windows" as the category in all the duplicates.

This solution has been posted previously. I did it, and the sync seemed successful. But had to do it again within a week or so. It is not a permanent fix, and a real pain if this lousy app mattered. I guess I need to move a way to something else.

MSFT! I'm a share holder and am tired of making excuses for you.

Hi WKFord,

I too have had to do the full reset/reinstall a few times to date. Annoying for sure, and you would think MS would be able apply a permanent fix as they are well aware of the error, but don't seem to give a rats!!
