Your Phone connecting automatically in mobile

[onlytanmoy]

Hiya, trust everyone doing well.

When I switch on WiFi in my S20 FE, Your Phone automatically starts searching for my laptop. Any idea how to stop this behaviour? I prefer to connect manually when I want to

Turn off Your Phone program in your PC and start manually when you need otherwise your phone will always try to connect.

Thanks for the pointer mate. Your Phone program was running in the background in my laptop, killed it via the windows task manager, ever since I haven't seen the pesky issue I reported Hope it will stay that way. I will keep an eye for few more days.

You could always disable it as a start up program.

It wasn't in Start-up.

I even disabled Your Phone in Windows Settings - Privacy - Background Apps, still when I switched on WiFi in my phone, I saw the notification of Your Phone Companion app saying Connecting to desktop 😒

I don't have any entry of Your Phone in Task Manager - Start-up tab.

The strange part is Link to Windows is already disabled in my phone. It has been disabled all these time and yet I get that notification, really weird 😐 Anyways I really appreciate you trying to help me out.
