Windows 10 Unnecessary processes

[usermn]

Windows 10 Home Version 1809 (64-bit) is on the computer.

In Task Manager, Processes, Background processes many processes that I don't need are listed, such as:

YourPhone.exe
Microsoft Store
SkypeApp / Microsoft Skype

Is there a way to prevent them from running in the first place?

yeah you can uninstall them if never used. Or remove them from background apps.

Apparently you need to go to Settings, Background apps to disable background processes such as YourPhone.exe. I could not figure out where you can uninstall them.

Really depends which processes you're trying to stop. Some are regular applications, some are appx packages which actually suspend while not in use so they don't really consume many resources. Some will be services.

For example "YourPhone" is an appxpackage you can remove it from a powershell prompt with Get-AppxPackage *phone* | Remove-AppxPackage
