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

    Hi and to anyone asking or answering these type questions. I have gotten a lot of sound advice in this community, my issue is on topic as well but I get (firewall) questions on many of Microsoft's apps requiring an action of (Allow or Deny)  what my issue is with this is there is never a signature. Hey its Microsoft Corporation, call me paranoid but there is a corrupt world out there trying to get in our house by any means possible. Microsoft take a sec of time and pay some noob to stamp your john hancock on these things so we can feel a bit safer (Allowing) you to do what you do in and out of our house. Thank you, Shotsi
