According to: Norton 360 Security - Startup Scan:

File C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.YourPhone_1.25112.36.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\System.I0.Compression.dllI>1 Error 421 {ZIP archive is corrupted.}

Please Acknowledge: According to my PC ... Within System > System components > Phone Link ...

Shows: Microsoft Corporation / Version 1.25112.36.0 / App 0 bytes / Data 1.00 / Total usuage 1.00

I'm attempting to resolve this on my own; By - Reset/repair.

If this does not work, I will be in touch with Microsoft Disability Desk Help to resolve the issue.

    Hi John,

    As far as I know Phone Link is no longer

    able to be Uninstalled on Windows 11.

    Maybe someone has a Command Prompt

    that can help you fix it.
