Uninstalling Xbox Game Bar Win 11

[Ringel05]

Just completely removed the Xbox Game Bar. If you try to uninstall it using settings the "Uninstall" is greyed out, can't use it.

Right click on the Start Menu
Select Terminal (Admin)
Copy this line:
Get-AppxPackage *Xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage
Paste it in Terminal, hit enter and that should remove it.

If that doesn't work copy and paste:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage
Hit enter and that should be it.

You can check by clicking the Win + G keys at the same time, if the Xbox Game Bar settings doesn't pop up then it's gone.

Interesting... not familiar with shell commands in Windows, just Linux... anyways.... looking at that command and it's useage.
I am surprised MS still has that command available to use on the regular desktop.
Reading - "the Get cmd is one of the most important power shell commands, as it can access all commands installed on the computer". In other words, seems to me, with the right script you can get around any installed limitations in the GUI.
Interesting.
