Thank you Brink. I have installed Vivetool and have taken a look at its subcommands. I have also used Copilot to tell me what the various feature id numbers actually enable in plain English. I think that I will be a more patient in order to see whether the various facilities that these numbers...

Hi, Thanks for your replies. In its current state, Phone Link 1.25042.85.0 is working, and appears in the list of 'All' in the Start menu. I suppose I could pin it to the taskbar, but have not tried it. I want it to appear as an extension to the RHS of the Start Menu. I have seen the...

I quite like Phone Link in Windows 11 and have been awaiting its appearance in my Start Menu instead of a pop-up window. I have checked that it was supposed to appear as part of Windows 11 Build 2600.3915 KB5055627 which was successfully installed on my PC on 27th April 2025. I have tried used...

They are connceted by a single USB lead to a spare USB socket on the back of the PC. I have located the lost 3.5mm jack plug lead which plugs into the back of the PC and to the back of one of the speakers, instead of the USB lead. Using it has cured the problem completely, but, of course, in so...

I have noticed that my excellent small YU2 stereo speakers, which have their own DAC and internal amplifier and which accept USB sound output from my PC, have started to make low cracking or popping noises at random intervals. YU2 do not supply drivers, just stating that Windows will...

OK Guys. You are geniuses (genii?). Well, whatever --- Problem solved, and I think I know what happened. Prior to buying these speakers I borrowed a pair (different make) that were the first USB -DAC speakers that I had ever connected o my system. When I gave them back to their owner and ordered...

Right. Wel I have looked at the speaker manufacturers wwnsite and it says nothing about drivers. I have found a complaint aured online that complains of a fault (not like mine) and teh response from the manufacturers is to say explicitly that thye do not supply driversm and Microsoft...

Thank you for that. I had never heard of USB Suspend. Hoiwever, on checking to set it up, I found that it was already the default, and that I have been using it without realising. I let the clean install get drivers from Windows Update.

About 2 months ago I had reason to perform a fresh install of Windows 11 on my AMD PC (I built it myself in January 2020). I became fed up of the tinny sound coming from an old and very inexpensive speaker system, and in April 2024 I bought a pair of Kanto YU2 small 'active' speakers which take...

It has suddely (I.e. overnight) started to work. I can see files copied from Phone to PC and vice-versa, just using Drag and Drop. AS far as I can see, these apps - Phone Link and Link to Windows, are extremely glitchy, and don't inspire me with much confdence. However, thank you all for your help.

When I set Phone Link and Link to Windows up, I was asked to grant access to multopler types of file - SMS, Photos and so on. I don't recall ever being asked to gant access to "All files", but I woid have done so if asked. Since reading your post. I ave had another rummnage around inside Link to...

It certainly seem sto be very erratic

Thank you for your response. Te reason why I want to use Phine Link is precusely to avoid having to use cables.

I have been having a lot of trouble with Phone Link. After Uninstalling and re-installing several times, and doing the same with the Link Windows App on my mobile phone, I have finally managed to connect the phone to the PC. I can click on the top ribbon of phone link and I can see messages...
