In some cases, you may need to connect your Android phone to your computer and switch from one connection option to another several times before your computer recognizes your Android device as a multimedia device.
Use the same Microsoft account
You must use the same Microsoft account for the mobile application Your Phone Companion as for your Windows user account. Otherwise, your PC will not connect to your phone.
- To check if you have connected to your phone with a different ID after the initial configuration, download the Your Phone Companion application and press the Settings icon.
- On the next screen, press Accounts and you should see the Microsoft ID with which you logged in.
- If it is different from your PC, press Logout, then connect with the correct identification information that matches the information used on your PC.
It is also possible to modify accounts in the Your Phone application (on PC). However, the process is quite tedious because it requires you to disconnect your devices and start the entire installation process over again.
