So I've noticed Microsoft are really trying hard to integrate Xbox with your PC and I don't own an Xbox and never will so I have no need for the software, but I cant seem to find a way to uninstall it, can someone tell me how I can go about uninstalling all this bull***t Xbox bloatware please, thank you in advance :)
If you do find any such apps on your computer, right click on their icon and select uninstall.
Why do you answer if you donīt know??
- Run Powershell as Administrator.
- Run command: "get-appxpackage | select name,packagefullname" (displays list)
- Look for "Microsoft.XboxApp"
- Copy the fullpackagename (on the right side, long name...)
- Type "remove-appxpackage <packagefullname> (replace <packagefullname> with the fullpackagename you copied)
reboot
itīs gone!
This may also be helpful to remove/uninstall other apps:

I *think* CCleaner(1) will uninstall those programs that can't be removed via right-click-uninstall or even "Programs and Features" under the Control Panel. I used the "get-appxpackage" to list everything it sees, used CCleaner's "Uninstall" feature to remove "Print 3D", ran "get-appxpackage" again and "Microsoft.Print3D" was gone from the list. The same as running the "remove-appxpackage" command? I assume so. Time will tell.
Notes:
1. I prefer the portable (and still free) version of CCleaner: Thanks for downloading CCleaner
There's a Tutorial here, "How to Uninstall Desktop Apps and Windows Apps in Windows 10" Uninstall Apps in Windows 10. I used Option Three to get rid of a lot of things.
To get rid of the Xbox tile & entry on my Start menus, I've used both the programs Geek Uninstaller & Store Apps-Cleaner, I opened Powershell as an administrator & used the: get-appxpackage *xbox* | remove-appxpackage command. But when I search the computer, there are still lots of Xbox files & folders & there are still 5 entries in the services.msc applet. Should I delete all these files & folders as well as registry entries to COMPLETELY remove everything Xbox-related?

Why bother.
