How can I stop sharing my photos to my PC?

My photos from my iphone are being automatically uploaded to my start menu and appearing in the live tile that is available for my photo app in the start menu. I need to know how I can remove the photos and also how I can change my settings so that I can stop auto sharing my photos to my Win 10 PC. Is this something I need to do in icloud, itunes, or can I adjust the settings in the photo app itself?

You can change your settings on your windows computer to stop that, if you turn off iCloud Photos you will need to back up your phone to save your photos. The best option would be to edit the settings on the windows computer. To get the most out of iCloud on your iPhone and Windows computer it might be best to contact Apple Support @ 1-800-275-2273 or online at www.apple.com/support

Yeah, I don't want to have to go through the hassle of downloading each photo I wanna keep so that I can turn off icloud photos. I mean if that's what I gotta do fine, but I would prefer to try another way if I knew what that was. I can't seem to figure out how to adjust this setting on the Windows computer itself.
