Windows 11 Phone Link no longer shows SMS messages after update to Android 17

Pixel 9 user here running Android 17. I have found that only "sensitive messages" are not being forwarded to appear on Phone Link. The ones I really want - the 2FA codes - are no longer available to me on Windows. Which is kind of the whole point. This was apparently a problem on Android 15 and 16, but MSFT found a way around it. I'm hoping they will do so again. I'm responding to this post in my quest to find out what MSFT is up to in this regard. I have read that the issue has to do with the Link to Windows app being pre-installed like it is on some Samsung phones. In those cases, those sensitive messages are still displayed. But download LtW from the play store, and sorry, Bob is not your uncle. 

I have found that the good folks at Google seems to like to throw a stick in the spoke of MSFT when they can. For example - you can project your Android screen to Windows - if you don't happen to be running Android on a Pixel phone. On Pixel - no can do. Thanks Google. This feels like another example of that. 

The only reason I have a Pixel is that I get updates quickly. But if those updates keep taking away features I use, then my next phone will be from another brand.
