Xbox Removal - Win 10?

[scaramonga]

I have an 7950x3d, and need to have 'game bar', unfortunately. Can I remove all other XBOX components apart from this? Thanks

I would leave all Xbox stuff alone....there are hidden demons in windows 10-11 that when removing the Xbox services can cause issues elsewhere.

This has been posted before here on the forums. I am not saying you will have issues but just wanted you to know

Yup, kinda thought as much. Won't be long before we can't remove 'Candy Crush' without breaking something either , but just thought I'd check.

Thanks.

You can remove most of the Xbox components, if all you want is the Game Bar (Microsoft.GamingApp).

Game Bar depends on Xbox Core to work. Removing XboxIdentityProvider throws a warning about MS Store, because it breaks Game Pass.
