How to Get Rid Of Xbox Game Bar, Steps to Remove or Uninstall Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10.

Powershell Command Used: Get-AppxPackage *Xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage

The Game bar in Windows 10 is a gaming overlay that many of us don't use. In this guide, we show you how to remove the Xbox Game bar (previously known as Game Bar) from Windows 10 because the Xbox Game bar can no longer be officially uninstalled.

xbox game bar mic not working

The Game Bar in Windows 10 is a tool designed to help gamers capture video, broadcast their gameplay online, take screenshots, and quickly access the Xbox app. It's an efficient tool, but not everyone needs to use it nor wants it on their PC. That's especially true if something happens to go wrong with a Windows 10 update, rendering the Game Bar obsolete until an update from Microsoft comes down the pipe. Here are a few ways you can disable or remove the Game Bar and some of the features associated with it that might be affecting your PCs performance.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.

Thanks man. Its really stupid how Microsoft forces you to use things and tries to prevent you from removing them. There really is no need for a game bar on a work computer you know?

NOTE : needs asterisks around the word Xbox which are not provided in the link or it does not work - - - Powershell Command Used: Get-AppxPackage (*)Xbox(*) | Remove-AppxPackage is what works - do not use paranthesis around asterisks

i put that command in and it did absolutely nothing

Why in the Land of Reason do they have an Uninstall button that doesn't Uninstall. I'm not a gamer. I have no need or desire for this bloatware, MicroBrain.

Damn I can't believe microsoft patched this too... ARE THEY EVEN GONNA FIX GAME BAR? LOL!

This is forcing me to reconsider buying a new computer and quite possibly a Mac instead of what is seemingly an old Microsoft glitch and possible FULL OWNERSHIP of ALL Windows 10 and PowerShell's and who knows maybe there is a wise ass hacker who works at Microsoft and knows the Windows 10 inside and out? Master Password or not!

Hey I tried this and a load of other different methods but my app still ain’t opening when I click windows g and I still can’t clip anything 😞

Thank you for this! I am a 38 year-old man. I don't play video games. Why does Microsfot waste so much space on my hard-drive with bloatware like Xbox and virtual reality crap and then make it super tedious and inconvenient to remove???

[John-Evans]

Did exactly what you said but it does not work. It says that the command Get-Appxpackage is not recognised. I use Windows 10 Home? Poor advice.

Thank you for taking time to create this video. Worked fine for however I am getting a box popping up wanting me to open something with something

[susanbeck]

After putting in Remove-AppxPackage it says "Supply values for the following parameters:" on one line and on the next line it says "Package:" - - No clue what to do now!

Finally a tutorial where the person doesn't talk for 10 minutes straight about nothing.

[deborahbutler]

It won't continue after 'Enter.'

[spartacusyamaguchi]

It's pop up every 2 minutes you'll need an app to open this ms-gaming overlay. I cant get rid off it

[languageweb]

my search bar is not working evers since...

[arfianwismiga]

finally a working video, but i uninstalled cuz it can't run. now i installed again but still can open

[r.addisonarthur]

Asks: "Supply values for the following parameters:"
"Package:"
So, what are the values?
Don't just show; TEACH!
