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

    What is it even? Is it a virus or just some junk running on my computer? What does it even do?

    I think it's a Microsoft app that lets you sync your phone with your computer, or something like that. So yes, it's basically official Microsoft junk. This is the best kind of junk because at least it's trustworthy and not a virus.

    The solution doesn't work for me, however, because the app still runs. I have to close it every time my computer starts.
