remove gaming features

You cannot remove them as they are part of the operating system. The procedure below will only remove them until your next system update. It's a command for repairing them

The amount of storage and system resources they take up is negligible. They don't affect performance

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this mate

Which apps do you want to remove?

Xbox app, Game bar, is there any other?

Windows is no longer a normal OS, it is now a service which you agree to the terms when signing in everytime. the services cannot be removed as already said as they will be added back in each update, they use hardly any space and it is all part of the microsoft account.

if you do not like this then downgrade to windows 8 or earlier or move to linux as this is your only option.

You can try this command to remove those apps:

Press Windows key + X, then select Windows Powershell (Admin)

In the PowerShell prompt window, type (or copy/paste) in the following command to remove the Xbox:

Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

Press Enter after typing the command to complete the process.

Restart your PC and you're done.

They are removing that feature for future games, not current ones with it already implemented.
