good evening

If the "Uninstall" button for the Xbox Game Bar app is grayed out and unclickable, it may mean that the app is currently running or that you do not have the necessary permissions to uninstall it. Here are some steps you can take to try and uninstall the app:

Close Xbox Game Bar: If Xbox Game Bar is currently running, try closing it first. Right-click on the Xbox Game Bar icon in the taskbar and select "Close window" or use the Task Manager to end the process.

Disable Xbox Game Bar: If you don't want to uninstall Xbox Game Bar but just want it to stop popping up on start, you can disable it instead. Press Windows key + G to open the Xbox Game Bar, click on the Settings icon, and toggle off the "Open Xbox Game Bar using this button on a controller" and "Remember this as a game" options.

Uninstall with PowerShell: If the above steps do not work, you can try using PowerShell to uninstall the app. Here's how:

a. Press Windows key + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

b. Type the following command and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Uninstall with third-party software: If none of the above steps work, you can try using a third-party uninstaller software to remove the app. There are many free uninstaller tools available online that can help you remove unwanted programs.

Producing a bug free modern operating system is essentially impossible, just as a bug free AAA game and has been for many many years. You're dealing with many millions of lines of code interacting with each other.

These are part of windows just as much as notepad or paint, and take up virtually no system resources. Using third party tools to remove pieces of thr OS can definitely lead to problems.

I am ON LINUX NOW - SICK OF microSHAFT Sticking it TO ME!!!!

It is BEYOND ASININE for them to FORCE "gaming" ON ANYONE!!!!
What do Business do NOW????

「Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage 」simply doesn't work. The annoying 「Xbox Game Bar Plugin」is still there and keeps updating itself in the Microsoft Store in an endless loop.

40 years of windows dev and they can't figure how to do it properly... this time my machine rebooted and again screwed the work i was on last night. i had removed the stupid xbox appz with o&o appbuster 2 years ago and yet My PC rebooted a 2h45 and eventvwr tells me it is because: Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: 9NZKPSTSNW4P-Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay.

After over 40 versions in 40 years, M$ has not been able to produce a bug-free one. like the other Einstein guys say: madness is expecting a different result from repeating the same action. So Linux it is and it won't be any version m$ is messing into.
