Using MS "Your Phone Companion" setting up Link issue

[OscarPerth]

I

 I have 2 HP machines. An older notebook where the MS "Your Phone" functionality works perfectly well.

The issue:

                     On this problem machine, the "Your Phone" functionality works partially. All functions except the following work very well.

                     When I attempt to use the "Continue Browsing on a Computer" functionality the Android phone attempts to make a connection (as the above screen shot shows) but after an interval of just a few seconds aborts. No error message, just asks to retry.

The notebook and phone are both on the same internet connection,  and both setup on the one MS account. They are both paired via blue tooth. The physical connection must be OK as the other phone to PC sharing functions work perfectly.

I have been working on this for 2 days, with MS help. No solutions offered. Indeed, I don't believe it is an MS issue because the complete system works perfectly well on my other HP machine connecting to the same Android phone.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

I have reinstalled, rebooted and cursed at the phone. All to no avail.

Thanks:

The support got me through by re-installing Windows!

That did the trick!
