A month ago, in the "top apps" section of my search bar/function, suddenly one of my go-to apps was bumped and replaced by the "Xbox bar" - something I'd never heard of, let alone used, needed, ever thought about.

How do I remove this unwanted icon/shortcut? I'm not on that PC now, but below is a screenshot of the computer I'm using, showing what I mean by "top apps," which appears when I click on the magnifying glass in the search bar.
