How do I uninstall x-box game bar from Windows 10?

Question

I want to uninstall the x-box game bar on a windows 10 machine.

This is a VM that will NEVER use the game bar.

It is also on a metered internet connection and the game bar is using data.

There is no option to get more data and I need every MB of data I can get.

Thanks

Karen

John, This worked! Why do they add unwanted ****? Trying to clean up PC to run faster and largely it is all the preloaded **** that slows up the performance.
