Unlink an old android phone from my pc

I go thru the suggested steps: Start - Settings - Phone - Unlink this PC.

When I first open the "your phone" screen the old phone is listed. Not sure if the phone listed is suppose to be selectable or not, but my is not. When I select "Unlink this PC" the phone listed is removed. When I select "Add Phone" the old phone still
shows. I have removed the old phone from my Microsoft Account. I have rebooted after unlink this pc but I still cannot remove my old phone.

 

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

The MiniTool register from disk worked for me

This worked for me. The MiniTool instructions. Background: at first when I went into powershell (admin not needed to list them) and type: Code:

In the resulting list of 29 items, Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI was NOT listed. It was totally missing. So none of the more common "re-register" steps would work because they require Get-AppxPackage to see it and on my system it couldn't. But the MiniTool approach gets at it from the file location on disk: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI_cw5n1h2txyewy This WAS there on my system. So, opening powershell admin (right click start menu) and running MiniTool's suggestion, namely, Code:

fixed it. It essentially reinstalled it. Then it appeared in the list returned from Get-AppxPackage and the "Open Windows Security" button in settings worked.
