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.

2020-05-15T12:18:14+00:00 I ran that command and nothing happened, it just went straight back to the prompt, presumably because I had run it previously but with the -AllUsers flag.
And right now I have the following in my Task Manager: ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/62aee896-bf46-4a17-8d48-97f6116a0f30?platform=QnA
If I open file location it opens in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.YourPhone_1.20041.88.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe. So why, when I've completely disabled this Microsoft app and removed it, somehow it's still there and still able to launch???
Clearly your advice has not worked. I should point out that I did run as administrator and if I check Settings > Apps and also Settings > Privacy > Background Apps YourPhone doesn't appear in either.
