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.

    Same thing here with all options below tried:

    Unisntall/Reinstall on both Phone and PC

    Repair

    Reset

    Multiple times. It's basic functionality that was lost with the most recent update. And i can't seem to rollback to previous version.

    I have the same issue and it does not work.
    I have removed, reinstalled the app, cleared cache and data,

    Reconnected the phone and it works for a few minutes and the goes back to not working.

    I even tested setting the default browser to latest version of Edge from latest version of Chrome.

    Same issue.

    After reading all the replies I can see it's not me, not my computer, it's the app. An update that you'd think is supposed to be an improvement actually makes it worse. Obviously poor quality control; it's hard to find good help I suppose. Have reset the app over and over again and it always stops working after a while. It's a shame . . . a useful app rendered ineffective due to poor quality control, it's like self-destruction!

    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.
