Windows 10 Delete the Your Phone App

Shown in the Windows 10 desktop menu is an app Your Phone. It enables the computer to link with an Android phone enabling it to send text messages and receive notifications among other things.

If you aren’t interested in this level of integration and want to remove the app it can be done in the usual way via PowerShell.

From the menu scroll down to expand and right click on Windows Powershell. From the popup select Run as Administrator.

At the follow-on notification window and click on Yes to confirm the question: Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?

In the PowerShell window run the command

get-appxpackage *Microsoft.YourPhone* | remove-appxpackage  

Reviewing the entries in the menu the Your Phone entry had gone.
