Microsoft's Bloatware

Phone Link

Nobody actually knows what Phone Link is for. They have been loitering in dark alleys and shadowy corners for years now, but still it won't come clean about their intentions.

Regardless, like a true ex, we have no need, desire or reasonable reason otherwise to stick around and try to find out.

Let's off it while we can.

If you open Task Manager, you'll see that it has launched itself, even if you've disabled it from Startup Apps and disabled it in Services. It uses CPU fairly regularly. No idea why. Probably just wants attention.

Open PowerShell from the Start menu as Administrator:

Start → PowerShell → Run as Administrator

Paste this command in PowerShell, then press enter:

Uninstall Phone Link

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

Et voilà!
