Hi Anita! My name is Ben a fellow member here in the community and hope you are well!

With regards to this error, I suggest try checking if there are any updates for the app. You can also try the following steps:

1. Open the Microsoft Store on your PC.
2. Click on Library and then Get updates to see if an update is available.
3. If an update for Phone Link is available, install it.

If there are no updates, the next step to try is to run a powershell command to troubleshoot the app

1. Press the Windows key + X and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
2. Copy and paste the following command into the PowerShell window and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Once this is done, restart your device and try it again. I hope this helps somehow!
