The Xbox app is a dashboard for Xbox Live accounts. On launch, it was positioned as a companion app for Xbox video game. The app can search for both Windows 10 or Xbox One games. Despite the name, any app can be recorded. The Xbox App brings together your friends, games, and accomplishments across Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. Stay connected to the Xbox Live community, see what your friends are playing, share game clips and screenshots, and view achievements across devices.
Make sure to turn on your Xbox One and connect it to the same subnet as your Windows 10 PC. If it’s turned on and connected to the same network, you may need to specify the IP address of the Xbox One. You can find the Xbox One’s IP address by going to Settings, selecting Network Network settings, and then selecting Advanced settings.
Open the Xbox app on your PC. In the navigation pane, select Connection, enter the Xbox One IP address into the Xbox One not listed? Enter your console’s IP address box, and then select Connect. If this doesn’t work, your Xbox One probably isn't on the same subnetwork as your Windows 10 PC. Check that both are on the same network. Important Make sure you don’t share the same SSID (network name) for both your 2.4 GHz network and your 5 GHz network.
Some wireless routers will default to using a single name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, while others will default to two separate names that help you identify the frequency band. If your router uses the same network name for both networks, you can configure the router to assign different names to each network. By creating separate names for each, you can explicitly configure the PC and the Xbox One to use a specific network and frequency band.
Finally, try restarting your PC and your Xbox One console, as this can sometimes fix connectivity issues. Wireless network quality will have an impact on your game streaming experience. Try the following solutions in this order:. If possible, connect both your Xbox One console and your PC over a wired Ethernet connection. If a wired connection isn’t possible, try lowering the quality level.
For information on how to change your quality, see. To try to improve your game streaming experience, see. Finally, try the Test streaming option for additional suggestions for your specific network configuration:. Select Connection, select your Xbox One console, and then select Test streaming.
The Xbox app will test the streaming connection and report its results. If you have a poor network connection or an older wireless network card driver, it can initiate scans of wireless networks in the background. Some, but not all, wireless cards can be asked not to scan as frequently.
For Intel Wi-Fi devices:. Right-click on the Start icon. Select Device Manager. Expand Network Adapters.
Right-click on Intel. Select Properties from the menu. Select the Advanced tab. Select Roaming Aggressiveness from the Properties list. Change value to 1. Lowest from the dropdown list. This will put the Intel driver in the lowest scanning mode.
For Qualcomm (Atheros) Wi-Fi devices:. Right-click on the Start icon. Select Device Manager. Expand Network Adapters. Right-click on Wi-Fi Adaptor.
Select Properties from the menu. Select the Advanced tab. Change Scan Valid Interval to 120. (The default is 60.) This will increase the roaming interval for the Wi-Fi driver to 120 seconds.
Microsoft includes a number of pre-installed Universal (Metro) apps in Windows 10. One such app is Xbox. It allows you to track your Xbox social activity and achievements, record game clips, and stream games from Xbox One to PC.
The app connects to the Xbox Live community where you can chat with friends, share captured screenshots and gaming videos and play multiplayer games common to the PC and Xbox One. If these things are not for you and you have no use for the Xbox app, here is how you can delete it completely. RECOMMENDED: Out of the box, Windows 10 comes with a set of bundled apps. Some of them are new to Windows 10, like Phone Companion or Xbox, while others were created to replace classic Win32 apps, like Calculator or Windows Photo Viewer. Another example is the Edge browser, which Microsoft recommends you to use instead of Internet Explorer. In our recent articles, we showed you a way to remove built-in apps using PowerShell.

If you get a small gray box asking if you’re running a game, then the app is still installed and you should follow these steps (close the box of course): 1. Run PowerShell as an admin.
Run: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp Remove-AppxPackage 3. A message might flash at the top of the PowerShell window for a moment, but there’ll probably be no messages under the command when you run it. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.

Lauren It didn’t work for me I get this error remove-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Removal failed.

↓. Marianne Tried this repeatedly, and it does not work. When powershell is run as directed, it asks for a parameter, which is unknown to me. I do not want the x-box app or any other game app, as this is a work station, not an entertainment center. I do not, in fact, want MOST of the apps Windows 10 has felt free to saddle me with, as the only one that is of any use to me at all is the Weather App. All other apps are nothing but useless bloatware. Windows 10 is not improving with upgrades, either, as the most recent has rendered the start menu all but freaking useless.
Great work — if you want the entire world going back to Windows 7. ↓. terry stafford I had to go to windows ten because window 7 wouldn’t let me add names to my ancestry tree, well shit hit the fan. I can add names but I can’t watch my movie sites any more. There are so many app sthat are crap-xbox is one of them. The paint programs sucks, I had to add my own back on. I can get my paint back but can’t add to my home page.
Plus every time I go to something it wants me to sign in. Whoever made windows 10 didn’t know his ass from a rabbit hole. I removed some stuff I didn’t need, but I need help to remove all the other crap.
↓. jim The method recommended above does not work.
It will only remove xbox from the start menu. Instead run this “Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers”, if desired you can capture the output by adding “ app-packs.txt”. The xbox package will be at the end. Within the package listing find label “PackageFullName” and copy what follows the ‘:’. Using that your command should look something like – Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp.0x648wekyb3d8bbwe Also remember to run powershell as administrator. ↓.
sunniesheryl didn’t work for me. I got this instead: Remove-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor.

This app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis. An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.
However, it may not be possible to uninstall the app. What I can do now? ↓. A If you really want to remove an appX app for good (all users, etc) use either 1.
Powershell: Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename 2. CMD: DISM /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName: First one (powershell) will not work if you had already uninstalled the app via Remove-AppxPackage for that user account (will say “File not found”). Also, Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage cmdlet expects a parameter called “PackageName”, whereas Get-AppxPackage provides “PackageFullName”, so you have to use a clunky Select-Object construct And all it does in the end is call DISM.exe So I ended up using DISM directly: 1.
Dump the list of FULL package names via DISM into a text file via DISM itself: dism /online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages C: Install pkgs.txt 2. Edit it to contain just the list of the package names you want to get rid of (grep, Notepad etc helps a lot:)) 3. Do the following in CMD: for /F%i in (C: Install pkgs.txt) do dism /online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:%i!!! It is ESSENTIAL that you DO NOT have a SPACE between /PackageName: and%i!!!
↓. Chris Ok so Here’s what I’m trying to do: I usewell used the app frequently to talk to friends on Xbox. Sometime in late October-early November there was a windows update which screwed up the app.
Or that’s what I think. To sum it up an update basically broke the apps voice communications function by making the sound output be a loud staticy screeching noise from any external microphone. Sometime I found this article, I used it to remove the app, reset the store then reinstalled. Did not work.
Few tries later I basically go into the drive, searched XBOX and deleted everything. Well the app, even after fresh installs wont work. So is there anyway to use power-shell to make the system validate and recover files? ↓. Fatug Lyman The described method above does seem to effectively remove the evil option from my start menu. Thank you for that as this is most definitely a positive step in the correct direction. However, it does not eliminate the bloat which seems to be “owned” exclusively by ‘TrustedInstaller’ and it appears that I am unable to revise the permissions on the remaining files and folders to manually remove them myself.
I thank you for your help toward effective resolution toward the extinction of this evil but humbly request that you continue your efforts to permanently resolve the issue. ↓. Roxie Thank you so much. My computer slowed down yesterday, so I was looking for an answer, saw that Microsoft had downloaded xbox onto my computer yesterday (without my permission mind you) and I couldn’t u install it. I knew it had to be the culprit, so I searched again online for how to remove xbox and came upon this here website.
I chose the Powershell method, and it worked like a charm. I restarted my computer just to be sure.
Now my computer is not slow. Its not fast either, but that’s pretty much my internet connection. ↓. Michael Here’s the system message i recieved after using your command, John.
Can you make anything out of this? BTW my Win10 is v.1809 and Build 17,763.55 plus 15.8GB of usable ram and a 1TB SSD card instead of a HHD Hard Drive if any of that makes a slight difference as such usually does in Android App Development Remove-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Removal failed.

Michael Well I can’t say this was completely worthless as it did actually delete the app just as the author said it would However, it didn’t delete all the xbox crap which in a way makes this Completely worthless. Sure the xbox app (aka bloatware) is deleted but clicking on “This PC” in File Manager then typing “Xbox” in the search box there were still 217 items of pure xbox crap on my system and in the Start Menu what used to say “Xbox Game Bar” now just says “Game Bar” as if in hopes i’d not recognize the little leach that was hatched from Bill Gates shrivelled up ballsac and conceived through Hillary Clinton’s warn out hairy blue waffle.
Yeah, after boycotting everything Microsoft since 1998 (that’s 20 years for those trying to use the Win10 improved calculator which even gets 20×15 incorrect) i’m now going back to the Apple Store begging them for mercy. Hell the old G3 iMac desktops with the factory OSX Versions are still lightyears ahead of this Win10 BS. Anyways, back to topic How can I uninstall more than just a basic app as in uninstall all it’s contents and fungus as well? Thanks to whomever has the knowledge and willingly, through kindness, helps me to conquer this battle against the Bloatware Fungus Zombies!!!!
