xbox bar uninstall to improve storage

[schnookl]

I am trying to delete unused apps for increased storage.  I don't want xbox bar on the device but it won't let me uninstall it.  The uninstall button isn't highlighted and can't be pushed.  If I push terminate app it won't do anything. How do I uninstall?

Simple Answer:  You don't uninstall it.  Xbar does not allow uninstall.  Windows controls Xbox Game Bar and wants it around.

Longer Answer:  App is tiny.  Disable it and ignore it.

Where available (not every system lists "Xbox Game Bar"),

 Find Xbox in Settings > Gaming > XBox Game Bar

To disable it, Xbox Game Bar can be switched off

I realize that is not the same as having it "gone" - but it does solve the immediate problem of having the Game Bar underfoot.

If you do not use the computer to "game", take a look around and switch off / disable whatever other "game" bits are bugging you.
