Disable or remove Xbox-app on W10?

Hedburgaren · May 19, 2017

I need help to either disable or completely remove the Xbox-app from my Windows 10-computer.

I have Steam and CS:GO installed, and on some maps in CS I experience a severe dimming of the light on the screen. Almost like I'm playing on a night map.

According to Steam there is a good chance that it is (something with) the Xbox-app that is causing my problems.

Since I don't use the Xbox-app on my computer and I only play offline with my 360..

How would I go about to remove it?

:)

A Way To Move Or Disable The Twitch Bar

Is it possible to add a way to remove or disable the viewer bar while broadcasting on the Twitch App? Please and thank you.

Broadcast DVR Server

Overkill and not really a solution.

To disable the DVR you just needed to look at the xbox settings.

XBOX app > settings > DVR for games -> Disable background recording or something like that.

If you wanted to remove the entire xbox app, there's a few more steps you'd take and it may even break part of the OS.

Hi,

Having the Xbox app on Windows 10 you can enjoy the following:

Party chat

Game streaming from Xbox One to Windows 10

View your account achievements

Cross-device multiplayer

For more information, you may refer to this
link.

To uninstall the Xbox app on your computer, kindly perform the steps below:

Click Start > All apps > Windows PowerShell.

Right-click Windows PowerShell and click More > Run as Administrator.

In the Windows PowerShell window, copy and paste the following command: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart your device so that the changes can take effect.

If you wish to reinstall the Xbox app, all you have to do is to search the Xbox app from the Windows Store.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post.

Hi, have you disabled this function by mistake?

You should check it in W10 Settings > Games and see if the box is checked.

This is happening to me when playing Halo Infinite on W10, and to my partner when she plays other Gamepass games on W10. I've done what the others have said and disabled notifications for fullscreen games but it's tedious that I've had to come and find this page and do that.

Hi,

No, but before i was part as child.
Now i am 20 years old and i had to remove the family system because i was not configuring in adult. I do not know if the problem is due to that.

1) i tried in game (Forza Horizon 4) no success

2) i tried on xbox app W10, no success (it said the confidentiality message)

3) i tried on android app xbox, no success again, same message.
