Can anyone help?

    "Xbox Game Bar" refuses to UN-INSTALL!?

    but after removing when you update windows it will add it back in, it is part of the system and will be added with every major update.

    windows is a service now not a normal os of old times, hence why its free and hence why you agreed to the terms upon sign in on first use.

    Game Bar and Xbox Companion Network bug

    Game Bar and Xbox app conflict withneach other so bad. Once I installed Game Bar i had to remove Xbox App. But in the last two weeks Game Bar is working really bad. It refuses to let me join party chats. I send invites to party chat as well do not work.
    I tried to go back to xbox app since i can not tolerate half working software, and now Xbox app half works. No notification comes up at all for Xbox app but Game Bar persists even when i shut it of. I wanted uninstall Game Bar but you cant.

    Game Bar is cool and all but not worth it. How do i get rid of it?
