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 ...

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

    the real question is:

    how&why is it legal to activated/have systems behind the scene that gathers data which is a "opt-out" setup instead of an opt-in...

    can't wait for laws on the digital front in ways like gdpr that forces the company to be the responsible, not the user to have all the responsibility for everything. 

    (in short; I want laws disallowing stuff I don't want on my machine being bundled together with stuff there is literally no good reason are bundled together and activated as default.

    especially in the age of module focused programming/programs)

    You're are wrong. Android phones sync too.

    Yes, but why would you want to?

    It's like Cortana--you can try to kill it all you want, but Microsoft made sure it keeps coming back to life. Zombieware.

    FYI - on my tablet, the code line is cut off at "-AllUs" I was trying to figure out why you were giving instructions for finding the | when it wasn't in the code you gave. 

    And the way others have written it, it looks like there's superfluous spaces. So, for anyone who was struggling with reading the instructions off their mobile devices too, best to go to it on your PC and copy/paste.
