windows phone link app not showing QR code for Android in windows 11 Pro 25H2 build 26200.7462

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your question. I understand your concern, and I appreciate the detailed explanation. It can be frustrating when the Phone Link app does not display the QR code for Android pairing.

The reason you are not seeing the QR code for Android is usually due to the app being in a limited setup mode or missing required components after an update. In Windows 11, the Phone Link app requires the latest version of both the app on your PC and the Link to Windows app on your Android device. If the QR code is missing, it often means the app is not fully updated or the pairing option is set to manual sign-in instead of QR code.

To resolve this, ensure the Phone Link app is updated from the Microsoft Store, restart your PC, and check under Settings → Devices → Phone Link for the Android pairing option. If the QR code still does not appear, reset the Phone Link app by going to Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Phone Link → Advanced options → Reset, then relaunch the app.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Noel
