I use Revo to uninstall all Xbox apps, but like a zombie they keep coming back. Is there a way to prevent this?

Once uninstalled, where do you see the Xbox apps appear?

The way i did it was to go to:
Settings - Apps - Installed Apps - and type XBox in the search field.
This is what I get :

1747595055250.webp

I still have the apps show in Services and I simply Disabled them.

I do not have any instances of XBox in the Task Manager.

Most of the Xbox Apps are removable Store Apps (with the exception of the Game Bar UI). They don't get re-installed by the Store, and aren't bundled in any updates (again, except for the Game Bar which is considered part of Windows).

Permanently disable/delete gamebar?

Hi folks, I absolutely can't stand the gamebar. I have never enabled it and have made sure to disable what I can. Yet, by some magic keyboard combination is starts a "streaming" video recording session or something. How the ... can I make it leave me alone. Thanks.

    Noisy but fast
Once you uninstall Windows apps, I believe they will stay gone until you have to do a clean install (of course), a repair install (in-place upgrade) or any version change thru WU such as 24h2(which accomplishes the same thing as a in-place upgrade)
Personally, I don't mind them being in my All Apps list as I rarely go there. I just don't use them. I disable any that auto-start and ignore the rest.

I Revo'd all X-Box related stuff ages ago, haven't seen anything since.

Sometimes you have to use CCleaner to find those hidden gems!
