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

    You're are wrong. Android phones sync too.

    Hi DA -

    To disable : (see DaveM121 response above)

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

    To remove it, type the following in a Power-Shell window :

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
