Beta 2 has a problem with Microsoft Phone Link app on Windows. You are no longer able to open phone apps on Windows desktop. After being prompted to enable permissions (Start Now button on phone), Your Phone responds with "Your Android device went to sleep. Wake it up by selecting the button below". Clicking the Wake up button does nothing.

This worked fine on UI 5.1.

exactly same here. no way how to run app on PC using Windows Link since OneUI 6.0.

UPDATE: It sems I found a workaround. First you need to display your phone's desktop from Windows Link. And then opening of particular app using Windows Link started to work.

Open phone screen worked for me, but it sure was a lot better before the update.

Only solution I have found is to Open phone screen in the Apps Tab of the Phone Link App.  It is pretty annoying that the update broke the Phone Link App.  It did work well.

I have found that turning off Link to Windows on my phone, turning it back on and selecting the Try again button works well too.  I use this quite a bit, and it was great before the update; although, this seems to work the best that I have found.
