Hi Kenneth
Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)
Go to Privacy - Background Apps
From there you should be able to stop the Your Phone App and other Apps form running in the background of Windows 10

I have noticed that … Yourphone.exe … is running all the time.
Can this app be stopped from starting and if so … How do you stop it? ...
Thanks for any help ...

Nah, it's just completely useless but Microsoft doesn't let you get rid of it as far as I know.
it is not useless,it allows you to sync your phone for some features
