UNINSTALL all of Microsoft FEEDS (news and feeds parts)

Question

Windows 10

Version 21H1

OSBuild : 19042.1706

I keep seeing FEEDS appear in my task manager. I have disabled ALL the functions for FEEDS

What is the command line (powershell or dos) to REMOVE all of FEEDS so it can never run again.

I don't ever want to see it load, I don't ever want to see it use processor time, I don't ever want to see it TSR in the background, I don't ever want to see it using Ram, not one nibble, bit or byte .. EVER.

I don't want it, I hate the premise, the idea and all of the bloated useless garbage that it puts on my computer.

(I am currently looking for a method to also remove ALL of XBOX garbage from my computer also - yes I do play games, and I do not ever want GAMECENTER to load or anything to do with XBOX etc.. more bloated garbage from Microsoft that is not needed to be running when I am playing a game in Steam made by some one other than Microsoft)

Answer 1

I had tried all of these before suggested, thank you for trying that though.

I am looking for a appx package command line code sequence to permanently remove all of the FEEDS, I know that other programs queue and pull FEEDS into a temporary load status that is TSR in the background.

IE - command line something like get-appxpackage *FEEDS* | remove etc etc Then I know that the software would be stripped off, then I can double check the file listing and manually edit them so that when it does try to load the program will auto load fail on a null file.

The usual solution for all of Microsoft bloatware.

Hi jbootland,

Welcome to post in Microsoft Community. I'm Mosken, let me help you figure it out.

According to your description, I knew that you want to disable Microsoft Feeds and Xbox related apps. Is that right?

First of all about Microsoft Feeds, you can turn off Microsoft Feeds by following the steps below. Right click on the taskbar > "News and interests" > "Turn off". As shown below.

Or try disabling Microsoft Feeds in the registry using the command below. Please run Command Prompt as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q", enter "cmd", select "Run as administrator"), and enter the following commands one by one.

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Feeds" /v EnableFeeds /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Then you can try to uninstall Xbox related apps using the command below. Please run Power Shell as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q", enter "Power Shell ", select "Run as administrator"), and enter the following command. Then restart system.

get-appxpackage *Xbox* | remove-Appxpackage

The above steps are provided based on the information I have learned so far, I wish that will be helpful to you. If your problem still cannot be solved by these steps, you could tell me the specific situation in the next reply. I will continue to assist you in solving the problem.
