Phone Enable or Disable Mobile Devices in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Android mobile devices you added to manage for your account in Windows 11.

You can link and manage your mobile devices directly from your PC. This link between your Android device and PC provides instant access to your mobile device with just a few simple steps.

You can enable and disable access to any of your added Android mobile devices on your Windows 11 PC as needed.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.7309 (24H2) and build 26200.7309 (25H2), you can now directly add and manage your mobile devices from Settings on your Windows PC by navigating to “Mobile Devices” under the Bluetooth & Devices section.

1 Open Settings (Win+I).

2 Click/tap on Bluetooth & devices on the left side, and click/tap on Mobile devices on the right side. (see screenshot below)



3 Under Mobile devices, turn On (default) or Off any added phone for what you want. (see screenshot below)

Mobile devices you added will not be listed if Allow this PC to access content and capabilities from your mobile devices is turned off.

This option is only available starting with Windows 11 build 26340.9577 (Experimental 26H2) for Insiders.
