The update from google for Google-duo which I could not find in my app disappeared from the updates without me applying the update. So assuming duo existed on my phone how would it disappear from my update list? (see screen capture)

The google store does not have anything to do with original equipment manufacture Samsung.

Unfornately Google feedback is very difficult. Unless you have a recommended site?

You can't really expect giant companies like Google or Samsung to respond to your concerns individually. All you can do is voice them, and if you can get enough people to join you, then they'd be more likely to address it.

I have another app update called "your phone companion - link to windows" This is to update to version 1.20052.146.0. I cannot identify this app in my installed apps and I did not install the app.

That's pre-installed by a update

I know it is pre installed. The problem is this app does not show in my App list therefore I cannot remove the application.

Since I upgraded to Android 10, from 9, I received an update to version1.20052.146.0 for a app I never installed called "your phone companion" I do not see it in the app list. How can this be removed or identified in the app list? It appears to be preinstalled when Android 10 was installed.

If you own a Samsung phone, this was included as part of the new OS updates and partnership between Samsung and Microsoft. It's not an app you can uninstall (not without rooting the phone) as it is a part of the OS itself. If you don't use it, it is just dormant and is not actively looking to connect to a computer. Other brands of Android would need to download the app from the Play Store to access Window's phone service on Windows 10 computers.

Then I suggest you buy Package Disabler Pro to do that .

spookdroid. Are you telling me there are apps that are not identified in the app list but require updates from google?

I do not think that is possible based on Androids operation. But if not what would the app be called for "your phone companion"

Here is another App I found "twitter" when I looked at the update presented to my phone today July-27-2020 I see version 8.53.4-release.00. I checked my phones current version before updating it and it already has 8.53.4-release.00.
