Uninstall Your Phone Companion App

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!

Worked for me thanks. Whatever I tried the app wouldn't sync with android phone app and was unable to uninstall using add/remove apps.

I did the command like you stated, but i get the following error message when I try to

us on my pc:

We're almost done

you've successfully signed-in on your phone. Hang tight while we

finish one last thing to get your devices linked

resend notification

i resend the notification, but same error message.

Thanks

Rick

It seems quite a few of us have given up on Your Phone as it refuses to connect to an Android phone and won't tell us why. I gave up after getting the same message as Rick got.  Maybe I'll try again in a few weeks.

I tried on another computer - same result, so I'll be uninstalling Your Phone from that computer, too.  As aforesaid, I am disappointed as it used to work fine and was very useful.  It would have been so useful for Your Phone to report why it couldn't connect

• I went round all the troubleshooting steps supplied, but still had no joy.

The background:  I've been through all sorts on this. Intermittently I get an issue with my cursor moving to a couple of specific places on my primary display, one just above the Search box on the task bar and the other just above the up arrow for opening the system tray. I've spent hours trying to diagnose/resolve this as it creates RSI having to keep moving the mouse back to where I want it to be. It happens a ton on sign in while apps load so I just leave it for a couple of minutes. But it also does it during normal usage. Whenever it does that, I check and Skype or YourPhone was running in background. I use Skype very infrequently for international calling so don't want to remove it completely but do want it to not be running in the background so I disabled it yet from time to time it still seems to crop up as a process called Microsoft Skype rather than just Skype - and this happens even when I've not run it since a reboot.

I never wanted YourPhone anyway so first off I went through Settings > Privacy > Background Apps to turn it off but every now and then I'd notice it was still showing in Task Manager. So I removed the YourPhone app using Powershell with the -AllUsers option so it's theoretically gone for all accounts on my machine and if I try to run the command again it tells me the package is gone. If I look in Settings > Apps it doesn't show and in Settings > Privacy > Background Apps it doesn't show there either. But a short while ago I noticed it still showing in Task Manager. I tried getting in to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps to see if it's still there but of course, even as administrator, I can't get in there due to lack of permissions.

Microsoft, what the hell is going on here??? How can a process I've removed completely still be there? Is there something you're not telling us???
