I've disabled phone link but

Question

On my Win11 desktop PC which does NOT have Bluetooth nor WiFi, I keep having a security popup that tells me: "Windows Security: Action Required", "Phone Link is needed to complete secure device pairing", and "your PC is at risk. Connect your phone to secure the session".

Phone Link is disabled in start up apps and does not appear in task manager and yet I still get this pop up.

In a search, someone suggested uninstalling phone link, but it does not appear in my installed apps list.

Help

Hi Garry,

To uninstall PhoneLink, you can use PowerShell admin.

Open PowerShell admin and run the following commands:

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

get-appxpackage -allusers Microsoft.YourPhone

If the commands throw any output, post the screenshot here.
