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.

2019-05-09T22:44:01+00:00 Ill tell ya, I went through hell getting it paired when it first came out. I basically just kept retrying and retrying and finally it went. Took hours.
I would not trust the app as it is anyways.
I have it working, and I think they need to really work on a direct connection via bluetooth or wifi (instead of calling on ms servers, first) or scrap this idea all together. It really needs work.
If I were you I would wait until the Windows update drops with the updated your phone program, it might get better. Otherwise its just not worth the stress. There are obvious problems.
