SOLVED

Phone link says I already have the phone set-up with another app

Copper Contributor

The Phone Link on the computer is where the issues are and under Calls

 

I have lost the ability to use the phone feature.

I've followed calls troubleshooting.

I removed all Bluetooth apps including unpairs. This didn't fix the issue.

 

I've terminated, repaired, and reset then I cleared these again and uninstalled.

Redownloaded it from the Microsoft store and still cannot connect.

Microsoft store and Windows Updates are up to date. 

 

On the Samsung S20fe phone

I've cleared Link to Windows/Link to Windows Service.

The phone is all up to date

 

Update: The issue is happening as soon as I confirm the pin with the computer and phone to connect to calls. It will then say that I have another device linked using Bluetooth.

Worked great. Thank you!
That response was life-saving.
I tried everything and there is one more step. I had to change value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Privacy\LetAppsAccessPhone to 1.
