★★☆☆☆David R. Borquez (davidrborquez)· Jun 13, 2026
Connection has a huge delay, Bluetooth connection keeps disconnecting, can't see photos on my phone from the Windows app, or lock the computer from my phone

Extremely inconsistent and total time waste like a lot of Microsoft products. You basically have to study Rocket Science to figure it out, and it is not worth it.
★☆☆☆☆David Swinehart· Jun 3, 2026
It disabled the previous link with usb and doesn't allow the previous easy browsing of file.
