Hello,



Open Group Policy Editor.

Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Group Policy.

Set Phone-PC linking on this device policy setting to Not configured.

Close Group Policy Editor and reboot.

Let us know if this helps!

Answer 2

Hi
You could try connecting through the Your Phone app.

If the issue remains, try configuring this GPO setting:
Locate Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Cloud Content > Disable Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences

Edit the DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures DWORD registry key (set it to 0): Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent

Then reboot.
