Installed Phone Link from Microsoft Store. Phone Link won't open now.
Windows 11, most recent beta. Was having problems with phone link. Uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller. Downloaded it again from Microsoft Store and installed. Won't open.
Supposedly, reset Microsoft Store (msreset.exe). Went to Windows Store > Library > Get Updates. Says "Your apps and games are up-to-date."
Image (couldn't upload)
When I click "OPEN," it doesn't. Won't open from Start Menu, either.
Any ideas?

dalewebb1This is just a generic way to install Microsoft Store Apps on the command line. It should work in your situation. If there are problems, read the comments found in the batch file itself:
On Windows 10 / 11: Right-click on the following batch file after saving it, and click "Run as administrator".
(1.) Use Notepad to create this file on your desktop or another folder: MS_Phone_Link_Auto_Install.bat

Still doesn't work. When I click on the icon, it seems to be loading for about 3 seconds and then nothing happens. Rebooted. Still nothing.
Any other thoughts?- Forgot to click "Run as Administrator", but I AM the only administrator on my computer.
