    Phone Link on even when Link to Windows is off on phone


    New weird behavior. I love the Phone Link/Link to Windows feature when I want it, but most of the time I don't want it running. In the past, I would just turn off Link to Windows on my phone and no problem. But recently, I am getting notifications of my phone's text messages and incoming calls showing on my PC even though Link to Windows is OFF! And I can't find any way to turn off Phone Link like a simple app other than disabling it altogether in Group Policy, which is not what I want. I want to simply turn the two apps on one on PC and one on phone when I want, and turn them off when I don

    How can I disable the "Link your Phone and PC" notification in Windows 10?

    The new "Continue on PC" feature that came with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update also includes a notification that pops up saying "Link your Phone and PC". Answering no or clearing the notification gets rid of it, but after some amount of time and/or a reboot, it continuously comes back.

    Presumably, if you actually install the app to link your phone it will stop giving you the notification, and I am also aware that you can completely disable suggestion notifications; however, I do not wish to use the phone link feature and I would prefer not to disable all future suggestions, as I could possibly be interested in one of them. Is there a way to specifically disable a single specific suggestion notification?

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store
