This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable cross device Resume (aka: Hand Off) apps for your account or all users in Windows 11.

Resume (aka: Hand Off) allows you to start something in an app on one device (ex: Android phone) and continue on your PC.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.4202 (24H2), you can now seamlessly resume working on OneDrive files from your phone (iOS and Android) on your Windows 11 PC with a single click. With this feature, you will get a notification asking you if you want to pick up where you left off editing a OneDrive file like a Word doc that you last viewed or edited on your phone within a 5-minute time window preceding unlocking your PC.

Here are some important details about how this feature works:
  • This feature works only when signing into OneDrive with a Microsoft account. Work and school accounts are not supported. And you need to be using the same Microsoft account signing into OneDrive on your phone and signing into your Windows 11 PC.
  • This feature supports Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, OneNote notebooks/pages, and PDFs.
  • The OneDrive file must be opened on your phone when your PC is locked. If you then unlock your PC within 5 minutes of accessing the file on your phone, you will receive the resume notification as noted above.
  • For the best experience using this feature, you should be logged into OneDrive in your default browser on your PC.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.4830, you know that you can use an iOS or Android phone to access your Microsoft OneDrive files. If you do that when your PC is locked, you can now continue working on that file from where you left off on your PC. Just sign in to your PC within five minutes of using your phone. When Windows asks if you want to resume work on that file, select the file to open it. To use this feature, you must sign in to OneDrive and your PC using the same Microsoft account. Work and school accounts do not support this feature. This feature works for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and PDF files. For the best experience, sign in to OneDrive on your PC using your default browser.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26200.5761 (Dev 25H2), build 26120.5761 (Beta 24H2), and build 28020.1619 (Canary 26H1), Microsoft is beginning to gradually roll out the ability to seamlessly resume using your favorite apps from your Android phone on your Windows 11 PC to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels. To start with, you will be able to resume or continue listening to your favorite Spotify tracks and episodes right from where you left off on the Spotify app on your Android phone.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26220.7271 (Dev and Beta 25H2), Microsoft is excited to share that:
  • vivo Android phone users can also now continue your browsing activity from vivo Browser on your phone, onto your default browser on your PC.
  • Honor, Huawei, Oppo, Samsung and vivo Android phone users can also now continue online files opened on M365 Copilot app from your phone onto your PC. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files will open in the respective app on your PC if you have it installed, or if you don’t they’ll open in the default browser on your PC. Note – offline files (stored locally on the phone) are not currently supported.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.7705 (24H2) and build 26200.7705 (25H2), Microsoft expands the functionality of Cross‑Device Resume first introduced in the May 2025 Windows non-security update (KB5058499). You can continue activities from your Android phone on your PC based on the apps and services you use, including resuming Spotify playback, working in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, or continuing a browsing session.

Taskbar hover card UI used for the upcoming taskbar recommendations feature + Resume on taskbar, w/ Spotify support, in Windows 11 (taken from a pre-recorded Build session*)

Resume itself (with OneDrive support) is shipping later this month. No release date for the taskbar integration and Spotify/WhatsApp support in sight (not even in testing with WIP yet), but it's more likely to be in another optional non-security CU than tied to 25H2 specifically.

So what if we want to disable this machine-wide as a matter of policy? All I see here are per-user settings...

edit: Nevermind, I found it. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Connectivity\DisableCrossDeviceResume\value=1.
However, Microsoft in their infinite stupidity made sihost.exe always launch CrossDeviceResume.exe anyway, regardless of settings or policies explicitly disabling that feature (let alone that the user isn't signed into a Microsoft account or using that feature).

Yes. As a former Microsoft Windows engineer for 7 years, I apologize -- this is par for the course in terms of our retardation. I'm pissed off myself, I have "Resume" disabled 10 different ways via HKLM/HKCU registry and Computer/User Group Policy, and this rubbish still launches. Back in the day Microsoft did this sort of rubbish on purpose. This past decade including my time there, it's just out of incompetence.

Yes, I had originally posted about killing it for good via IFEO, only to discover after the fact in testing that it doesn't even check the Debugger string for CrossDeviceResume.exe (checks a lot of other IFEO flags though!), and had to edit my post to remove that note. At least sihost.exe doesn't keep relaunching CrossDeviceResume.exe if it is terminated. We're getting to the level with Windows here of needing to inject a system-wide DLL into every process to make rouge ones like this self-terminate during the Init phase!
I don't like the idea of relying on a 3rd-party tool (vivetool) to make changes. Surely, there's a simple registry-based way to do this directly? Also, what are the chances that disabling this feature ID will continue to work? Aren't those feature flags there for temporary (beta-exclusion/gradual rollout) purposes only?

Another one I want to kill is StartMenuExperienceHost.exe. When using a 3rd-party Start Menu (like Open Shell or StartAllBack), one does not need the built-in XAML Start Menu app launching, running in the background (along with all its helper processes) all the time, and downloading content from Microsoft needlessly. If terminated, it is immediately restarted by svchost.exe (DCOM). It too bypasses the Debugger IEFO string. However, it honors the WaitForDebuggerPresent flag (unlike CrossDeviceResume.exe), going into a hang-state for several minutes before logging an Application Error (app hang) and exiting. Which isn't too bad—except this also hangs the Explorer shell on login until the timeout expires. However, if terminated during this wait phase, the hang immediately ends, no error is logged, and it is not restarted unless one tries to open the built-in Start Menu (e.g. via [Shift] + [Win] using Open Shell).

edit: Locking read access to CrossDeviceResume.exe results in sihost.exe throwing a message box on the desktop with that app's path and "The parameter is incorrect." Replacing it with a stub application results in the same error. Removing the file entirely results in the same message box stating that the file cannot be found. Restored the file to original, and can't get the error to go away! Googling reveals that this is a common issue with it. What programming...

edit: Locking read access to StartMenuExperienceHost.exe results in an error getting logged in the System log from DCOM each time it tries to launch it. No operational issues were detected besides—login happens quickly as before, no error messages, 3rd-party Start Menu works fine. This is quite acceptable (although it would be nice to have a system policy "Disable Start Menu" that would do this cleanly).

The crux of this problem is CrossDeviceResume.exe straddles two separate packages.

You would think it's entirely contained in YourPhone or CrossDeviceExperienceHost, but it's actually inside Client.CBS. If it was packaged correctly, then removing phone device support would neatly get rid of any running Services. But clearly it's not. Client.CBS tends to be the "kitchen sink" of whatever doesn't fit neatly into its own feature package (Windows.Backup, GetStarted, etc.).

Instead of using ViveTool, you can substitute the same reg changes:
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\1387020943]
"EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000
"EnabledState"=dword:00000001
"Variant"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayload"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayloadKind"=dword:00000000

But you're correct that MS could eventually remove this Feature control in a future Windows update, putting us back to no workaround.

It's possible to remove Client.CBS package entirely, using the AppxAllUserStore\Deprovisioned reg hack. Some users think that's fine with their desktop using 3rd-party extensions.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. After a reboot, adding the above registry values successfully stopped CrossDeviceResume.exe from being started—until today, when my PC updated from Windows build 26100.4946 to build 26100.5074. Now it's being launched again. :mad: The tweak still works on PCs running earlier subversions of Windows 11 24H2.

You may have to re-apply the reg, and permanently disable the ReconcileFeatures task:
Code: 
schtasks /Change /Disable /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\FeatureConfig\ReconcileFeatures"

ReconcileFeatures phones home, and asks MS which Feature ID's to change on an user's machines. This is how "gradual rollouts" are staged.

The values are definitely still there (they're part of a debloating script I was working on today), and the PC has been rebooted many times. They simply don't work in the latest subversion.

For those struggling, ViVetool appears to have defeated Resume for me. Not even CrossDeviceResume.exe is running. Microsoft must be really insistent on keeping this enabled at any cost and all it does is waste RAM.

@HarleyQuinn Execute the command below in an administrative command window—this is what I'm currently using:
Code: 
schtasks /create /sc OnLogon /delay 0000:03 /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Kill CrossDeviceResume.exe" /tr "taskkill /im CrossDeviceResume.exe /f" /ru SYSTEM /f

@TheSystemGuy What build of Windows are you running? Execute winver and report back with the number. For me, the feature flags stopped working in version 26100.5074.

I'm on Build 26100.6584 - the solution I used is a combination of ViVetool, disabling ReconcileFeatures and the registry tweaks at the top of the page.

Interesting. So I don't want to disable feature reconciliation as I want my system to move forward with updates/features, and have my system set to reapply tweaks after each version change. I wonder what additional flags ViVeTool is setting that is still working for this feature.

vivetool.exe /disable /id:56517033

Because IFEO isn't even strong enough to kill CrossDeviceResume.exe.

You may have to re-apply the reg, and permanently disable the ReconcileFeatures task:
Code: 
schtasks /Change /Disable /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\FeatureConfig\ReconcileFeatures"

ReconcileFeatures phones home, and asks MS which Feature ID's to change on an user's machines. This is how "gradual rollouts" are staged.

@Techie007 , I have quoted the exact posts I've used to disable Resume once and for all. ReconcileFeatures phones home to arm or disarm feature ID's and shouldn't break Windows Update from my understanding

ViveTool isn't magic, it's updating the same Feature ID's as ReconcileFeatures. The difference is you're playing "Whack-A-Mole" between ReconcileFeatures and whatever you may have enabled/disabled manually.

If you'd like to do both, create a new scheduled task to run ViveTool immediately after ReconcileFeatures' normal scheduled run time.

Turns out I don't even have the ReconcileFeatures task on my PC. In that folder, I only have GovernedFeatureUsageProcessing (never run), and ReconcileConfigs (last run in June). So clearly I was wrong about those tasks being necessary for newly downloaded features to get enabled.

And apparently ViVeTool is doing something more than just writing the supplied registry tweak (which is sitting in my registry just fine, to no effect since build 26100.5074)—or something else is going on here.

@HarleyQuinn Execute the command below in an administrative command window—this is what I'm currently using:
Code: 
schtasks /create /sc OnLogon /delay 0000:03 /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Kill CrossDeviceResume.exe" /tr "taskkill /im CrossDeviceResume.exe /f" /ru SYSTEM /f
Click to expand...

I hesitate to run commands because of bad experience in past. I'd rather do it manually by following guide with visuals BUT unfortunately i couldnt find any so i had to dig reg keys by my own. Got help from forum a bit but stucked here.

Disable Cross Device Resume for All Users >> [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Connectivity\DisableCrossDeviceResume]<br>"value"=dword:00000001

according to this should I double click on this "value" and change to 1?
