Windows Phone Link App

 I like Phone Link on Samsung phones. I bought a new phone and could not get the app to set up the new device. I uninstalled the Windows app and redownloaded from the miserable Windows Store.

Open PowerShell as admin

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

Now go to store and download Phone Link app

If Store won't open try resetting time on Windows.

I just turned off automatic time and turn it on again and then sync.

It worked.

In an unrelated observation I noticed the automatic time zone was greyed out. I use recommended settings in O&O Shutup and it disables location tracking. If you do a search within O&O for "location" and reverse those settings you can turn on automatic time zone. This was not necessary to use Phone Link but might come in handy for traveling laptops.
