33Stop Your Phone App From Running in the Background In Windows 10 [Tutorial]
Microsoft Windows 10, and all the previous Windows versions that came before it included features, tools, and applications that were nice to have but not absolutely necessary. Applications like Solitaire, Minesweeper, Calculator, etc. all serve an obvious purpose, but if they suddenly disappeared, we could make do without them.
In Windows 10, you can choose which apps can receive info, send notifications, and stay up-to-date, even when you're not using them. Turning background apps off can help conserve power.
This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off to let apps run in the background for your account or all users in Windows 10.
Microsoft’s Your Phone is an app that is designed to make an Android smartphone and a Windows 10 PC work together. The app helps you stay updated on all the latest notifications that you’re receiving on your smartphones without actually unlocking your Android phone. It also lets you receive and send text messages from your Windows 10 PC. Microsoft recently added Phone Calls feature to the Your Phone app, thus making it possible for the Windows 10 users to make as well as receive a phone call right from their PC.
In order for the Your Phone app to help you stay updated on all the notifications that you’re receiving on your smartphone, the app needs to work in the background for as long as your PC is turned on. And as you already know, when an app runs in the background, it consumes power. Clearly, if you don’t have the app installed on your PC, you can expect a batter battery life.
Alternatively, it’s also possible that you want to use all the features that Your Phone offers but don’t want the app to always run in the background. If this is the case, you can follow a few simple and easy steps that will help you end the YourPhone.exe process, which in turn, will disable Your Phone from running in the background.
