    Why are all "Uninstall XBOX" questions locked and unanswered?


    I want to uninstall XBOX entirely from my PC. I don't play it, and it is taking up needed space on my small SSD and memory. .It doesn't have an Uninstall option. Searching on the XBOX community forum, there are MANY questions by users asking how to uninstall
    it. None that I can find (there are over 50 pages of them, and I'm not going to read through 50 pages of Locked questions in hopes of finding ONE that provides a solution and/or is not Locked!), even list a solution, or have any answer available, and the are
    ALL LOCKED! [mod removed]? So, HOW DOES ONE UNINSTALL XBOX???

    :)

    Unfortunately you will not be able to uninstall the Xbox app on a Windows 10 device as it is part of the operating system.

    If you have the latest version of Windows 10 (1909), then you can right click the Xbox console companion and select uninstall.

    As for the other Xbox apps such as game bar & Xbox services, they can not be removed, but you can disable game bar, by going to settings - gaming, then find the option to disable game bar.

    Hi,

    They're not locked and unanswered. In fact, this question comes up quite a lot on these forums.

    Can the Xbox Apps be deleted from Windows 10

    Yes, and even the ones that don't have an 'uninstall' option can also be removed, but these will need to be removed via the Windows Powershell. In fact, pretty much all of the Windows 10 pre-installed apps can be removed via the powershell.

    How much space will I get back?

    Not a lot really. If you remove all of the apps - and the only way to remove all of them all is via the Powershell
    - you'll probably get back around 350 MB which isn't a great deal of storage.

    So how do I remove them?

    Open PowerShell as administrator. Hit Windows+X, and then choose the “Windows PowerShell (Admin)” option from the Power User menu.

    At the PowerShell prompt, copy and paste one or more of the following commands—pressing Enter after each command—to remove the apps you don’t want on your Windows 10 system:

    Uninstall Xbox:

    Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

    You can also remove these via the Powershell

    Hello

    The Xbox Apps can't be fully uninstalled since it is baked in to the Operating System but they can be disabled but turning the off Game-bar in the Gaming tab, Disabling Background apps and disabling SysMain

    Disable Game-bar

    If you go to Settings, Gaming and turn everything off

    Background App

    If you go to Settings, Privacy and Background Tasks you can turn them off

    SysMain

    With Windows 10 it also has a feature were it learns to pre load Apps and Software in to RAM.

    This can be Good and Bad but if your using an SSD is a feature that can be disabled

    Go to Services and Locate SysMain, Right Click, Proprties, Startup Type (Disable), Stop and Apply
