Uninstall Your Phone Companion App

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.

    If you dont fix this app soon MS. I will call everyday knowing that the solutions you provide DO NOT WORK. This app is a **** joke, and I will troll the **** out of your reps as they walk me through the steps over and over again that dont work.

    I literally already have half a robocaller set up to do this (need to call more to train it for a full conversation) VERY easy to set up if your reps are just gonna send us around in circles.

    I PROMISE you I will get at you and waste YOUR time and resources. Its all ready started lol. Already wasted 18 hours.

    Again, soon I will not need a phone to do this. Your reps are Amazon-level. **** trained monkeys
