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.

    I am in the camp of individuals who have tried both "Repair" and "Reset" of the Phone Link app in Windows 11 without positive results. I have also tried completely resetting the app on both PC and mobile device, re-linking the two, and still URLs on the Windows 11 side of things are unclickable in the app. I would estimate that links were still working fine as clickable until some point within the last month (April 2022).

    It stopped working for me today as well, after working perfectly for about a week. I don't know if something changed today or if it's because I rebooted today.

    Edited to add: it hasn't worked properly in 2 weeks. The version with the notifications on the left side is the version that has this problem. If I "reset" the app, and re-link it, it works for a few minutes but then after a couple of minutes, it updates itself back to the version that has the notifications on the left side, and the links no longer work.

    I did a bunch of resets and deleted and re-linked my PC. At first, links were working again. But then they stopped.

    I tried these steps and it did not fix the problem. I'm going to try completely uninstalling a reinstalling.
