your phone weird behavior

I found out that your phone app freezes and crashing its sometimes useless app after few builds of windows 10 insider gets worked sometimes not and gets worse not functioning its need to fix to let it work its unstable at the moment
  • Hello snakehunter1765,

     

    Try re-registering Your Phone app. Perform these steps: 

     

    1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search. 

     

    2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator. 

     

    3. Then type following command and press Enter key: 

     

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.YourPhone | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

     Let the command complete. 

     

    4. Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now. 

     

    If issue still persists, you can report it via Feedback hub app.

     

    Hope this helps!

        snakehunter1765, I've updated my reply with code block. Can you retry the command. Copy and paste it directly to Windows PowerShell and it should work.

         

        Regards.

      The code block still contains the "beautified" quotes ;). How I hate that specific automatic beautification in every place.
