Hi Rsnic
Right click your Start Button, choose Powershell (admin)
Paste this command into Powershell and hit Enter
Get-AppxPackage *windowsphone* | Remove-AppxPackage
When that command completes, close Powershell
That's It!

Hi,
Regrettably, I am less than underwhelmed by the new Phone Companion App that came with the latest Windows 10 update.
Having said that, how do I uninstall Microsoft Phone Companion? When I try from the Apps menu, I have to go to Advanced Options, which brings to Your Phone Companion App; I try clicking on the TERMINATE button, but nothing happens -- and apparently, the App is running in the background so I can't uninstall
Would appreciate some advise on this one as well
Thank you very much

You cannot uninstall it. That is a system app.
Just stop it working in the background and forget.

Thank you SO much. I was trying everything listed & I had to figure out how to PASTE because Powershell logo ->EDIT->PASTE was grey and wouldn't let me paste, so I was typing in the command with spaces, without spaces..... so Thanks! It's gone (I hope).

Great, this worked for me on my PC to remove it. Now I need to remove it from my Samsung Galaxy S10 phone - can't remove the damn thing and it's interfering with photos received in my SMS messages. Disable button is grayed out, can't "Force Stop" the app, can't uninstall - no options in the Play store to do this. I just want it gone!
