Hello Jackie and thanks for your reply.<br />
<br />
I am signed into my Windows account on the PC and Android phone.<br />
<br />
However, looking at the same settings page today those icons are gone. I presume it's the 24 hours you mentioned and it's fully linked now.<br />
<br />
Thanks again.

I'm running Windows 10 v1709 build 16299.214. When I link my Android phone via Settings &gt;&nbsp;Phone there is additional text above the Manage phone section. The text says:<br />
<br />
Your Progress<br />
(a line of grayed-out icons representing Edge, Cortana, Outlook, Skype, OneDrive, LinkedIn)<br />
You don't have any linked apps. Add your phone to get started. Learn more.<br />
<br />
Because this area is grayed out I can't click on Learn More. I have a number of those apps already installed in my Pixel 2 XL: Edge, Cortana, and OneDrive. I can share an item from Edge via &quot;Continue on PC&quot; and it works OK.<br />
<br />
What's up with these icons? Should they be turning from gray to an &quot;active&quot; color? The text suggests as much (ie: Your Progress).<br />
<br />
I have unlinked and relinked but the message persists. Google didn't return any useful search results re. this.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any insight.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows OS

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).

Android

A smartphone or smart phone is a mobile phone with an advanced mobile operating system that combines features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use.

Most smartphones can access the Internet, have a touchscreen user interface, can run third-party apps, music players and are camera phones. Most Smartphones produced from 2012 onwards also have high-speed mobile broadband 4G LTE internet, motion sensors, and mobile payment mechanisms.
