@John I don't remember installing it. In the Control Panel can't seem to find Universal Windows Platform (UWP) nor any of the apps, such as YourPhone (that is still running). Can't find them in Microsoft Store either. And in the Settings>Apps, the Uninstall button is not active (as one can see here).

UWP applications must be programmed to support what you want. This is the reason some UWP applications behave differently. | |
