I unlinked my android phone because it automatically changed all my apps around, made them larger, and made navigating my phone cumbersome.

I wanted to unlink my personal android phone because this windows 10 machine is for business not personal use.
I followed the instructions and it says that my phone is not linked to the computer however i am still receiving my personal text message notifications from my android phone on my windows 10 notification machine. So i will need to figure out how to make this stop.
I’m trying to unlink a hacker from my Android, so I don’t know if this will even work…(backwards!)

As you mentioned above, one can only see pictures and a few documents. I wanted to see my videos on the computer. As always, Microsoft created a totally useless feature. It is time to change to a different computer with a different platform, like Apple.

I have tried this 4 times and my phone keep reconnecting. The computer shows its unlinked but after a day or so it relinks.

Unlinked because of phone notifications interrupting work flow. Also felt uneasy about possible greater security risk.

Whenever I try to download any app from google play on my pc it automatically gets downloaded in my phone. That’s the reason I want to unlink my phone from pc.

The call function didn’t work with a Bluetooth headset – so that completely negated the reason for me being interested in this app.
The unlinking didn’t work properly, and every time I go back into the Your Phone app on my PC, the call/message details are still there. I don’t think it’s connecting to my phone any more because I uninstalled the Android app and had the devices forget their Bluetooth connection, but the info is still visible in the Windows app. Very, very disconcerting.

When deleting email from PC it deletes from my phone and vice versa and that is not what I want to happen
Your emails are on an email server on the internet. If you delete an email from one device, it gets deleted from all devices where you access that email account, because it gets deleted from the email server.

I don’t want my personal messages to pop up as notification when I am projecting the screen for a presentation. I know I can disconnect momentarily or adjust some notification settings, but it is annoying to do it every time, not to mention it sometimes reconnect on its own.

I want to remove this link because ever since I installed this a few days ago when my I had a Windows 10 update, I’ve been getting spammed with messages from unknown sources containing unknown links. I’ve never received this kind of crap until I linked my phone to my PC. I don’t know if the app is also linking to my email’s spam folder or what. As far as I can tell the app is crap.

if anyone swipes my phone it instantly becomes a huge security risk to my PC , my documents and pictures and music, in other words it becomes a virus or a Trojan horse that’s the way I feel about it and also i don’t trust Microsoft behind a b

my computer doesn’t run windows 10, and that is intentional, because windows 10 is a miserable OS that hasn’t improved a lick in the time they’ve dumped it. i don’t even know what my phone’s connected to at this point, and apparently i can’t disconnect except from the windows 10 side, which again i don’t have… bloatware at it’s finest.

Some of my apps on my phone kept closing after I linked. Unlinking seems to have fixed that issue.

Every time phone rings, it crashes my HP Zbook. The fault is always bluetooth drivers. I have latest ones, still crashes. Disaster of an application. Good Riddance.

I unlinked my phone in the Windows 10 settings as described. Unfortunately it still keeps linking. I’d love to use the features, but there are too many glitches. The newest one is that if I open my computer while on the phone it interferes with the call and the person I’m talking to can no longer hear me.

I removed it because it consistently rerouted the sound output away from my hearing aids and into the less effective Windows speakers.
