Hey, guys, I just upgraded the Cross Device Experience Host on my Windows, and it was not as smooth as I thought it would be. I want to tell you all about it, so you won’t have to go through the same headache.
First off, I found out that this Cross Device Experience Host thing is pretty important if you want to use your phone and computer together, like sharing stuff between them without any hassle. So, I thought, “Why not keep it up to date?” I went into the settings, and there was a switch for “mobile devices.” I flipped it on, and then my computer told me it had to install this Cross Device Experience Host thing. Sounds simple, right? Wrong!
- Started the process: I clicked on whatever I needed to get it going. No progress bar, no nothing. Just sat there like it was thinking about life or something.
- Tried troubleshooting: After waiting forever, I tried the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter. Because why not? It did its thing, but nothing changed. Still no Cross Device Experience Host.
- Got a bit technical: Then I thought, maybe I’ll just install it using the command line. I’m not a pro or anything, but I know my way around a few commands. Followed some steps I found online, typed in some stuff, and hit enter.
- Adjusted system settings: Still nothing. I went deeper, checked my system settings, made sure everything was up to date. I even linked my devices with my Microsoft account, thinking that might be the magic trick.
Guess what? It finally started working! After all that, it turned out to be something really small that I missed. But it’s all good now. I can finally use my phone and computer together like they’re best buddies. Just make sure you check all the small things and update everything you can. Don’t be like me and waste your time troubleshooting for hours.
So, there you have it. That’s my story of upgrading the Cross Device Experience Host. Hope you learned something from my little adventure. Keep your stuff updated, and hopefully, you won’t run into the same problems I did.
