Hello I noticed a new security issue after some Microsoft pushed updates for Windows. Does anyone know how to remove the Xbox application from your Windows 10 device? The option is now greyed out. 

This is showing open ports and a remote address even when not in use or not turned on.

    • Have you tried using  the Repair or Reset option to find if that makes it possible to uninstall ?

    Uninstalling the XBOX app should prevent the UI from trying to connect.

    - Open Powershell (admin mode) and cut and past the command below to uninsatll\disable XBOX App
    Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

    - There are several other XBOX related apps that can  be removed along with a lot of other Win10 Bloatware.
