Phone link says I already have the phone set-up with another app
Open command prompt as admin:
Type> gpedit
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>App Privacy
Enable: Let Windows apps make phone calls
Close gpedit
In the same command prompt as admin:
Type> regedit
Goto>Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy
Set LetAppsAccessPhone to "1"
Close regedit
Close Command Prompt.
Lastly make sure you computer and your phone are on the same WIFI.
Reboot and test.

Thought I would try just changing the value in regedit and found there was no AppPrivacy key. Still having the problem. Is this something that can't be fixed in Windows 11 Home. I do have access to messages and notifications from my iphone, just not phone calls.
I cannot do this because my computer does not recognize the gpedit command. Now what do I do. Would love to solve this problem after taking several days to even get my phone and laptop to pair. I have a pc running Windows 11 Home and an Iphone 15. As far as I know, I have not paired my phone using another app.
- Thanks, for me also that is fixed it, it is still broken in win 11 24H2
- Thank You so much for your help
Lobo2020 when i type gpedit in comand prompt, it's showing that "C:\Windows\System32>gpedit
'gpedit' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file." so what should i do next- press win+r
insert there gpedit.msc
- SIR, I was worried that my new phone was not working with phone link but you literally made my day!!!
- That response was life-saving.

This worked for me without needing to reboot, I just pressed the "Retry" button.
Thank you for that!
