Windows 10: What finally fixed Phone Link not opening after upgrading to Windows 11 24H2

Hi all,I recently upgraded to Windows 11 on my home PC from Windows 10. I use Microsoft Phone Link a lot and the first thing I noticed was that it wasn't opening despite the process PhoneExperienceHost.exe being present in Task Manager, sometimes with the message "This UWP process group is suspending processes to improve system performance" probably not related but it pointed me in the right direction.For about a week after, I scoured through every forum/thread with troubleshooting steps that I could possibly find with ZERO success. They worked for other people in the comments but nothing

:)

 

Factory reset Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.863)

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There are no currently listed problems resetting version 24H2 of Windows 11 and no specific steps you need to perform, are you experiencing any problems with that insider build that is causing you to perform a Windows reset?

I suggest that you wait until later in the year, when the final version of Windows 11 24H2 will be released to the public. The final version may incorporate a solution for your problem. Currently, Windows 11 24H2 is only available on new Copilot+PCs.

 

Phone Link App does not open/start

Thanks Sabya.

I have already tried these steps, and just tried again now.

I additionally tried to run Repair as well as Reset, but the App still does not run.

I had seen the post from the link you sent here, but found this not very useful, as some of the instructions suggested do not seem to exist on my Windows edition, and also require the App to open to get to the suggestions listed, which I am unable to do.

Just to clarify, I am running Windows 11 Pro Version 23H2.
