    Trying to remove Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI


    Hi, I've looked through google for a good hour now and couldn't find any command lines that was able to remove this: Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI

    I changed windowsapp folder permission from trustedinstaller to myself but it still failed. Anyone know how to completely uninstall this from my pc?

    You can uninstall Xbox app by typing Powershell into Start Menu and start the PowerShell as a administrator.

    At the Powershell execute below command:

    Code:
    Get-AppxPackage  Microsoft.XboxApp  |  Remove-AppxPackage


    If you ever change your mind and want to reinstall Xbox app, execute below Powershell command:


    Code:
    Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxApp_36.36.12003.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

    The info freebooter provided is completely useless. Actually, an upgrade is needed to achieve that level.

    It must have worked as there was no response about it not working since the last response by FreeBooter on 02 February 2018.

    Hi mwapy,

    I have just now test the Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage powershell command from Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and it works Xbox app did uninstall by this command.

    But the second command wont work as i notice version number have change for the Xbox app below command will re-installs the Xbox app.

    Code:
    Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxApp_39.39.1002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
    I don't know what kind of upgrade you are referring to that you think will resolve this issue.

    Hi fmartel

    To remove Xbox app you need to execute below powershell command, make sure that the PowerShell is open as a administrator.

    Code:
    Get-AppxPackage  Microsoft.XboxApp  |  Remove-AppxPackage

    I cannot remove XboxGameCallableUI either using Powershell or CMD. This here is the only Xbox application that can't be modified. An article outlines the IsInbox flag situation and I don't have the tools or knowhow to do an operation that advanced.

    So, with that said, would deleting the three "GameCallableUI" folders from the WinSxS folder remove this app? Perhaps some registry edits?
