Uninstall Xbox Game Services

AntagnéAntigo · Jul 1, 2022

Hi. I'm trying to uninstall Game services because it is listed as a solution to games not installing on xbox app, and I've tried everything else. However, When I try to do this with power shell, (Running it in Admin, game services not running, and xbox app doesn't open on startup) it gives an error.

Code Ran: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers"

Output: "remove-AppxPackage : Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor.

Deployment Remove operation with target volume C: on Package Microsoft.GamingServices_3.65.8001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe from: failed with error 0x80070002.

Could you try using SFC tool to see if there is some corrupted files on your system:

Hi Enderninja_846! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

This could be that you didn't run PowerShell as an administrator or the app is not currently installed, as the error message is about files missing, you can also try this way to uninstall it

Open RegEdit as an administrator and delete the following Services:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

Reboot PC

A pleasure, have a great day

It's ok. I found a different way to fix my problem without having to uninstall anything, but thanks anyway!
