Discontinued Dex on Windows.

[Addz]

What's everyone's opinion on Dex support for Windows being discontinued? 

I just tried Link to Windows, which, as far as I know, is now the only alternative. What a disappointment that was. That'll be the first and last time I ever use that....

I'm also very disappointed about this news, I have also tried Link to Windows it is not great at all and I 110% prefer Dex on Windows, they are different and Dex is much better

I know the removal of Dex from Windows is not universally popular,  however Dex is not going itself.   It will still be possible to plug directly into or wirelessly cast  to a supporting monitor,  screen or TV.  Know that the link for Windows is not quite the same though.

Just got a S25+ upgrade, genuinely thinking of returning it so I can continue to use windows usb Dex on my old S20 5g
Gutted it's gone, used daily at work (work is heavily filtered etc so Dex via usb was great)

I just found out about this and I did try phone link before and all I can say is I hate it to the core of my heart i will never install windows phone link it ia garbage!

Now i can't connect my phone to my windows work laptop what a fail disappointment if you samsung remove a feature make sure to replace it with an equal product not this pice of junk blotware ***** from Microsoft.

Finally signed up for this community portion, just to state, that a SECURE method that meets if not exceeds FEDERAL or FIPS security, and they went and neutered it, removed its usability, and are saying a LESS SECURE and LESS COMPLIANT solution is better. Its worse, lags, and uses miracast, and is way less stable with way more bugs and problems. This makes NO SENSE. Unless samsung is giving up on secure platform KNOX/DEX functional in a WINDOWS environment. Yeah sure, it works stand alone with a separate dock, keyboard, mouse, but uh, you just made it so folks HAVE TO have extra peripherals. This majorly impacts work flow, productivity. As far as security GOES, pushing to use a LESS SECURE solution MAKES NO SENSE.

Must be all the talk about android 16, with googles version that is universal, so samsung just gave up in preparation for the one ui 8 beta/one ui 8.
