XBox install gaming overlay error daily-

Rose W · 09 Jul 2019

I don't use or have anything to do with XBox. In fact I have no idea what it is. I'm assuming now that it is a gaming software. The constant error for the past month of June and to date displayed in relmonitor is :
'Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800700B7: 9NZKPSTSNW4P-Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay.'

I found the powershell administrative level commands to uninstall Xbox in the forum tutorials.
(To remove Xbox app from all current accounts on PC)
powershell -command "Get-appxpackage -allusers *Microsoft.XboxApp* | Remove-AppxPackage"

So although I have never installed this xbox I'm interpreting that this command is to remove it from the list of items that are possible to install.
Will this signal to Microsoft to stop downloading the gaming overlay item?
Should this command be run as well
'powershell -command "Get-appxpackage -allusers *Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage"

Almost any app from Microsoft also "fails" to me with the same message as you. It doesn't really fail so I'm not sure what's going on there. Xbox is Microsoft's gaming division for consoles. Since they are trying to push more games and gaming related features to Windows, apps like Game Bar and Companion app related to Xbox will show on your system either as pre-installed or automatically through the Microsoft Store. I only have bad experiences trying to force it off of my PC because sooner or later it will pop back up. Maybe you can in the latest feature update (1903), but I'm not sure. Some apps Microsoft doesn't want you to uninstall.
