Uninstall Your Phone Companion App

Anonymous

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

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!

You cannot uninstall it. That is a system app.

Just stop it working in the background and forget.

Powershell doesn't respond with anything, just new line opens. And I ran it as administrator.
