How do I uninstall XBox from my PC? I do not play games

Elise Russo · Oct 17, 2023

I do not play games and I am unable to uninstall the app. "Uninstall" is grayed out when I go to apps and click on xbox.

I keep getting popups about it which is why I want it off my pc

Thanks

Also part of the ms store libraries

Thank you so much. I suspected as much.....

You can thru power shell but it won't do you that much good the libraries are only a few mbs

And it will be reinstalled in the next update everytime

The libraries arent just used for gaming

It includes core parts of the direct x libraries

Basically it is tightly integrated into windows

Only way to avoid it is Windows S

But even then because of the libraries being shared you will never be rid of it

The Application is part of Windows, we can't completely uninstall it.

You can, however, disable the Xbox Gaming Services.

Please, follow these steps:

Press the Windows Key + X on your Keyboard and Select "Terminal (Administrator)" from the menu and confirm it by clicking "Yes".

Once the terminal Window is open, copy the command below and paste it on the Window, then press ENTER. (Select the Text and press CTRL Key + C then switch to the terminal Window and press CTRL Key + V)

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage –allusers

There's a high change that everytime your Windows is updated, the services will be restarted.
