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.

    Along with the others I uninstalled Phone Link using PowerShell and reinstalled it from the Windows Store. I've now got the updated version and links are active again in my messages. Pretty amazing that the fix is available and Microsoft doesn't make it available through the app update function.

    For those who are just now researching the issue, here's how to fix it without having to go through this entire thread.

    Right-click on Windows Start-> Windows Terminal (admin)->[Copy/Paste the following] Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage->enter

    Reinstall Phone Link from the Windows Store

    Yes, @GregHanner is correct. If you've run it correctly as administrator your window should look more like this. (Maybe not blue, but you should see "Administrator" in the title bar.)
