Встроенное приложение Windows «Связь с телефоном» может быть полезным, если вам требуется подключать ваш смартфон к компьютеру с возможностью совершения вызовов, работы с сообщениями, доступа к фотографиям на телефоне. Однако, не все пользователи находят эти возможности полезными.
В этой инструкции о том, как отключить «Связь с телефоном» в Windows 11 и Windows 10, а если нужно — то и удалить это приложение.
Отключение в «Параметрах»
Первая возможность — отключить функциональность «Связь с телефоном» в Параметрах Windows, это не удалит соответствующее приложение, но отключит его фоновую работу, в частности работу процесса PhoneExperienceHost.exe. Необходимые шаги:
- В Windows 11 зайдите в Параметры — Bluetooth и устройства — Связь с телефоном и отключите опцию «Связь с телефоном».
- В Windows 10 зайдите в Параметры — Телефон и выключите опцию «Включить связь с телефоном».
В большинстве случаев этого достаточно, если связь телефоном вызывает какие-либо проблемы.
Однако, возможна ситуация, когда пользователь хотел бы полностью удалить приложение «Связь с телефоном» с компьютера, это тоже можно сделать.
Удаление приложения «Связь с телефоном»
Стандартными способами удаления в «Параметрах» или «Панели управления» рассматриваемое приложение удалить не получится. Но можно использовать команды PowerShell или сторонние деинсталляторы.
В первом случае шаги будут следующими:
- Запустите Windows PowerShell или Терминал Windows от имени администратора, сделать это можно, нажав правой кнопкой мыши по кнопке «Пуск» и выбрав нужный пункт контекстного меню.
- Введите команду
Get-AppxPackage *YourPhone* | Remove-AppxPackage
и нажмите Enter.
- Приложение будет удалено и, если вы попробуйте включить «Связь с телефоном» в Параметрах Windows, вам будет предложено предварительно установить приложение:
Также вы можете использовать сторонние бесплатные деинсталляторы (программы для удаления программ), большинство из которых умеют удалять и встроенные приложения Windows 11/10.
В завершение — некоторые дополнительные нюансы, которые могут быть полезными в контексте рассмотренной темы:
- Если вам требуется разорвать связь с телефоном, вы можете сделать это на странице https://account.microsoft.com/devices/android-ios в браузере с компьютера, либо просто удалив учетную запись Майкрософт в приложении «Связь с Windows» на вашем мобильном устройстве.
- Если после удаления приложения вам снова потребуется установить его, вы можете скачать его в Microsoft Store, либо включить «Связь с телефоном» в Параметрах Windows, после чего вам будет предложено выполнить автоматическую установку необходимого приложения.
В случае, если у вас остались какие-то вопросы, касающиеся «Связь с телефоном» в Windows, можно задать их в комментариях ниже, я постараюсь помочь.
