I'm guessing these Device Manager entries are really for a surface or other portable device, but they serve no purpose on a full tower desktop PC.
I do use 'Phone Link' to send/respond to text messages/make and receive calls on my connected Android phone, but I probably don't need the 'Android Auto Wireless' (it says it's working properly despite having no driver? Same with the SMS/MMS, but this seems like I might need this, but the same thing in that it has no listed driver?

Appreciate some help here, I just want to use Phone Link to do the basic things I mentioned, but this is no portable PC.
All I could find when I searched showed how to turn off Android Auto Wireless on the phone itself, no the WIn 11 PC.
Thanks
