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 would suggest doing a soft reset of your app may help get things working again.

    On your PC:

    Select Start > Settings > Apps.

    In Apps & features, select the Phone Link app from the list.

    Select Advanced options > Reset.

    Relaunch Phone Link on your PC.

    If this doesn't work, you'll need to reset your apps on both devices.

    I hope this helps! :) Let me know the results

    Sorry, I could have been more clear. I edited the title of the post. This is with the Phone Link app in windows 11. When somebody texts me a link to something, it is no longer clickable. I noticed this recently since the app has been updated and renamed.

    Hi adam_bomb, I am Juliet and It's my pleasure to help you today.

    How are you? I hope you are doing good.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you :)

    May I ask what URL are you referring to? When did you do the update? Did you update from 10 to 11?
