I thought about it, and it turns out that Apps beginning with Windows 10 are AppxPackages, so I decided to search for one or more AppxPackages that correspond with Continue from Phone, system. In the process, I noticed that I also have an app called `Phone Link, system.` Using PowerShell in Admin Mode (update to the latest version of PowerShell) to seach, I entered:
get-AppxPackage -Name *name-here* (replace name-here is what you are searching for and use the wildcard * at both ends.
I used: get-AppxPackage -Name *phone*
The result looks like this:

To Remove this, look at the information next to "PackageFullName" and use it in the remove command, as follows:
remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone_1.24072.111.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
- When issued as a command in PowerShell, the curson will jump down one line, that's all. So search again and the AppxPackage will not be found.
At this point I checked in All Apps and I noticed that `Continue from Phone, system` was still there; however, 'Phone Link, system` was gone.
- Now, I rebooted. Then I ran Windows Update which required another reboot. Afterward, I checked in All Apps again and I found that `Continue from Phone, system` was gone.
By the way, using the commands mentioned can be dangerous should you decide on removing certain AppxPackages. In Windows 10, many could be removed but some of those removable under Windows 10 are NOT removable under Windows 11, at least not without causing very undesirable circumstances. KeithB
