@user598527 You have probably removed some of them (there are a lot of Xbox AppX) but I think the main Xbox backbone is not uninstallable. By running Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName on PowerShell you can see you still have Xbox AppX in your system. I think you can remove the game bar if you stop and disable the Xbox services (Probably Xbox Live Networking Service)

@user598527 If you don't uninstall the app through official means (i.e. through PowerShell) and just remove or rename the folder, the app doesn't really get uninstalled and can cause problems later down the road. And you should not rename the SystemApps folder as it is essential in Windows 10. FYI the Windows Universal Apps folders are C:\Windows\SystemApps for system app files, C:\Program Files\WindowsApps for other app files and C:\Users\Ryakna\AppData\Local\Packages for app data.

I can't rename SystemApps folder. I had to remove the Xbox app folder using BleachBit, wasn't possible by official means. The Xbox app is still installed, Game Bar process location is ~\Windows\System32. Is it safe to remove GameBar* and GamePanel* files there?

| Aug 20, 2016 at 22:58 | comment | added | Ryakna | Thanks for your time. The problem is that this Windows image is from November and is not connected to the internet yet so not updated. Besides, I just tried to uninstall the store and the calculator from an up-to-date Windows 10 using the same method and was able to do it without any problem. | |
