PC xbox companion app problem

Apparently this link no longer exists and has been removed.

In a previous post, there was a work around posted for this problem

"I unlinked Facebook completely on the Xbox companion app on my PC.
I then downloaded the Xbox app onto my phone and connected it using the phone app. it connected fine and the Xbox companion app on my pc then updated with my Facebook linked to it with no further problems. works fine now"

I had the same issue, but found a way around it.

Hey YeetYerGreens!

i just tried to add a friend and it brought me to the Xbox PC companion app. Is the Xbox PC companion app updated and enabled?

Hi ParanKapur,

This is was addressed the other day too, a solution/work around was found by another user.

Please give this a go and see if it helps solve the problem.

can you try one thing for me, uninstall the xbox companion app and restart the pc and then open the xbox app.

Same issue unfortunately. Uninstalled then rebooted. The laptop where I took the screenshot of the working Xbox app also has the console companion installed. Removing it and rebooting didn't fix things on the PC where the problems are occurring. Thanks for following up.

I had the Xbox app installed on that PC back when it was in beta, though there are no traces of the beta left on there, just wondering if that may have something to do with the problems I'm experiencing.
