Resolved Uninstalling XBox items from Windows 10

While reviewing my apps on Windows 10, I noticed that I have the following XBox items:
XBox Console companion
XBox Game bar (2)
XBox Game speech window
XBox Identity provider
XBox Live

I don't do anything with XBox, so I'd ideally like to red rid of the items. Can I use my Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove them or is some special Windows procedure required to uninstall them?

Thank you.

 

No need for Revo, this is super easy and very fast to remove follow these instructions:

1. Open the Windows 10 Search Bar, and type in PowerShell.
2. Right-click the PowerShell app and click “Run as administrator”.
3. Type the following command and press the Enter key:
   Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage
4. Wait until the process is finished. It should only take a few seconds to run.
5. Type exit and press the Enter key to exit PowerShell.

 

Thanks, Holland. I followed that process 3 times without success. See the results below. Maybe you might see something I've done wrong.

Yes, you have typed it wrong. You used a forward slash instead of a straight line.
Here it is again,
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

You can also check to see if this option is available to you:
Go to Apps, Right Click XBox and see if there is an option to Uninstall. If so this can also be used to Uninstall. Not all Windows 10 systems have this option. I am running Windows 10 Home and it IS an option on my machine

 

I've used the straight line and tried again twice. The only thing removed was the 'XBox Console Companion'.

 

I am doing more checking for you. But did you Restart the computer after using the Power Shell? Not just a shut down but choosing Restart is what you need to do. This totally turns everything off and then the restart, which will be slower than just shut down, often times will remove those remaining listings. It may be that none of the other items are actually remaining, only the words listing them.

EDIT: Did you try the other suggestion I gave you?
Go to Apps, Right Click XBox and see if there is an option to Uninstall. If so this can also be used to Uninstall. Not all Windows 10 systems have this option. I am running Windows 10 Home and it IS an option on my machine
This would need to be done with each thing listed for XBox

 

How much space are you talking about?
My Xbox entries hardly take up 1MB in Apps.

 

The computer is restarting now. I’ll let you know then if the Xbox apps are still there. In the meantime, thankfully I’m using my iPhone.

 

Ok, here is what I found. You will have to use Power Shell to remove each remaining listing:

Get-AppxPackage -name "Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider" | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -name "Microsoft.XboxGamespeech window | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -name "Microsoft.XboxGamebar | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -name "Microsoft.Xboxlive | Remove-AppxPackage

Be sure to hit Exit after each is complete.

Restart Computer of course is a must.

 

After restarting my computer there are still some vestiges of Xbox on my list of apps. I'll go through the process again tomorrow and hopefully I'll eliminate each one. I'll report back then.

 

The Xbox items left on the computer after XBox Control Companion was uninstalled amount to 62.38 MB.

Thank you, guys, for your help.

 

61GB? I think you need to check again. That is much larger, probably two times as large than the operating system itself.
The only XBox app that came pre-installed on my Windows 10 Home is the XBox Game Bar and, like retiredlearner it is approximately 1 MB.
I notice you say you have XBox Game bar (2)...that number means you have two installed so one would have been installed manually I believe.

 

You can also check to see if this option is available to you:
Go to Apps, Right Click XBox and see if there is an option to Uninstall. If so this can also be used to Uninstall. Not all Windows 10 systems have this option. I am running Windows 10 Home and it IS an option on my machine[/QUOTE]

Yes, when I right-click on any of the Xbox apps I'm offered 'Uninstall' as an option. I thought that these Xbox items could only be uninstalled with PowerShell. Does this mean that I can simply uninstall the item by ticking an Xbox app and choosing Uninstall? I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

 

You're correct. I must have been dozing when I added up the apps. Here's a photo of the sum of the remaining Xbox apps.

 

Yes, if you have that option then of course you can use it.

 

F.Y.I. that is 62.38 MB or 0.06238 GB. So it is taking up very little room

 

By right-clicking on each of the Microsoft Xbox apps and choosing 'uninstall' I've finally rid myself of all things Xbox.

Thank you, guys, for bearing with me as I fumbled to the finish line.

 

Happy that we could be of help.
