For those who don't want to play with powershell, admin privileges etc etc.

Simply open Microsoft Store, click My Library (bottom left), click Get Updates (top right). That's it.

    The solution isn't Reset OR Repair from within the app and the solution is NOT to hit Update from within the app (the updater doesn't work). You need to follow one of 2 steps (outlined in earlier posts):

    1. Powershell process removal of the app on your PC, then reinstall through the Microsoft App Store
    2. Through Windows Start, then Microsoft Store, then bottom left icon Library (above help), then hit Get Updates top right. You'll see your version of Phone Link change from the one ending in 136.0 to 554.0 and that one the links finally open like they should

    Reset, reload of both devices temporarily resolves the problem but after closing the phone link software and reopening it apparently brings it to a newer version. The version that works has a menu i.e., Messages - Calls - Apps - Photos on the lower left-hand side, once the app is restarted, the menu is at the top and then Hyperlinks no longer function. I love this app and use it all day long, hate to go back to pulse so please put out a fix ASAP. It seems like the issue is security related or perhaps the hover over is not properly parsing the hyperlink in the text message.

    This is VERY frustrating. I tweeted out to the phone link folks- I hope to get a response...

    Thanks, Juliet! This worked for me. Choosing 'Repair' in the advanced options screen did not work, but it did reveal a pending update. Installing the update also did not fix this problem.

    After reset, the phone and the computer have to reconnect. This was suprisingly chaotic, but I stayed calm and got through it in under 20 seconds. I can't recount all the screens and false starts, but just as a note to everybody having this problem, don't panic.
