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.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackageand hit enter.ALL GONE!P.S. Don't forget to take the Android app off of your phoneHow? There is literally no option to uninstall this **** app from my Samsung 10!
