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

    This solution worked to fix the issue for me initially, but unfortunately hyperlinks stopped working in the Phone Link app again within a few days. I've tried resetting the app again, as well as installing the newest update (1.22042.168.0), but hyperlinks have stayed non-functional.

    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!

    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.
