it doesn't work to me vs it doesn't work for me

The correct statement is "It doesn't work for me." The preposition "for" is used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of the action (in this case, the functionality not working). "To" is not the correct preposition to convey this meaning.

it doesn't work to me

This phrase is incorrect in English. The preposition "to" is not used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of an action.

The correct phrase should be "it doesn't work for me." Use "for" to show who is affected by the lack of functionality.
