Windows 10: Phone link crashing while creating qr code.

Im trying to link my phone to my pc so when ever I use phone link click on iphone it immediately starts making a qr code and crashes a second after.

:)

 

Link to Windows fails to generate QR code

I have never had a problem using Phone Link with My Samsung S21 when connecting to any of my desktop computers using a wired network connection or my laptops using a wireless connection. Note if there is a problem I just remove the respective devices on both ends and tried again. BTW, I am using my ASUS laptop with Phone Link but it is not a registered device for my Microsoft account. ON PC 1. Click Get Started

2. Click Sign In

3. Click Pair with QR code. QR code is shown on PC screen.

[B]ON PHONE[/B] 1. Start Link to Windows

2. Select Add computer

3. Select Continue. Point phone at QR code on computer screen to scan code. When done setup is complete.

 

QR Code Question

There are varying levels of error correction and it's possible that the exact same data can be encoded in different ways by different generators. They all try to create the most readable pattern.

The one Mindweaver linked is legit, checked with a QR Code screen reader.

 

QR Code Question

I'm working on completely rebranding the company I work for. Everything from the website, trucks, business cards to the shipping boxes. I am basically creating a new brand from the ground up.

I've done this before but I have never used a QR code. My question is I see a lot of QR code generators online that are free. However when I type in the same exact web address I notice the pattern in the code is different from site to site and day to day but, the code I generated last week seems to work fine.

Do QR codes expire and is there a way to pay for one so that a year from now the QR codes on the sides of our trucks don't lead people to some strange porn site or something?
