If you want to report this to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. They will not even see it here. This is a tech forums staffed mostly by volunteers trying to help others with your problems.
If you want to post back a Share link from your Feedback here others who see this thread can vote it up and add to it. If you are an Insider I can also vote it up with my MVP badge and track the issue for you.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hi Ex-Jedi,
I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.
Are you using Microsoft Launcher or Microsoft Edge to use continue on PC?
Sumit It is always good to include your PC Specs, make and model in the question. Ensure all the latest quality updates have been installed.

Hi Greg.
Thanks for that. I had set up the devices according to those instructions but no joy. I've tried unlinking, uninstalling, reinstalling and relinking my phone & the apps too but no results. I did have Edge Deflector installed, so I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it possibly?
Here's a link to my feedback hub post.

In that case, you can try disabling Edge Deflector and see if it resolves the issue.

If you had an app installed to deflect from Edge then that seems a prime suspect.
Make sure there's no uninstall tool needed to get it all out after uninstall
I will walk you through the fixes for Edge to try progressively until it's fixed:
Back up your Favorites first in Edge Settings > Import from another Browser > Export to a File. If it won't open you can reach Favorites to back them up to an HTML file using the tiny app Manage Edge Favorites here: http://www.emmet-gray.com/Articles/EdgeManage.html
You can reset Edge in Settings>Apps>Apps and Feature, scroll down to Microsoft Edge, highlight it, choose Advanced Options, then Repair, or if that fails, Reset.
If that doesn't help then try re-registering the app following Option Two here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-apps-re...
If necessary you can reinstall it from this link: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-mic...
If that doesn't help then check the System Files:
https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-use-sfc-scannow...
I would have several other browsers available to choose from on the Task Bar since Edge is a work in progress and unreliable. I use Firefox, Edge and Chrome in that order of preference. You can import Favorites from each other easily in Settings.
Edge is being rebuilt right now on the Chrome chassis and will be reissued soon:

You can test the new Edge and interact with developers with your feedback here: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/?for...
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. If you will wait to rate my post until we're finished I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hi, and thanks for that. I got as far as re-registering Edge, but the commands didn't work both in the command prompt and Powershell...
I skipped forward and ran sfc /scannow, which didn't return any errors. Interestingly when I try continue on PC the hourglass appears by the mouse pointer for a few seconds, so something is happening.
Also Edge Dev Chromium is proving to be very stable for me so far, I've had no real issues with it.
Cheers.

Did you copy and paste the exact re-register command into the Command Prompt from Shawn's tutorial?
Try reinstalling Edge next.
