I ran " Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage " in Powershell admin and nothing happened. How do you remove these Xbox services on Windows 10 v1803? I can't disable " Xbox Game Monitoring " service because it said access is denied. These Xbox services still have the executable file.

If you have Geek Uninstaller, you can go to View > Windows Store Apps and uninstall any Windows app that you don't need. I've slimmed my system down to about 9 Windows apps.

There's no Xbox app in Iobit Uninstaller on Windows App. But the service is still there with the exectuable file.

Try the suggested Geek unistaller, it may be simpler than command line process for you, all uninstallers are not created equally, no offence intended @CyberTech .

I tried that and no Xbox app at all. I also cannot find Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames and Microsoft.XboxApp package follow the steps listed in the link, but I did find this one package that I am unable to remove after type in the full package name.

Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI : Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI_1000.17134.1.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy

@SumTingWong Yeah, I tested it on my VM and it gave me the same error. But it also removed all the ones it was able to remove.

Get-AppxPackage | Select Name,PackageFullname

When you enter this line, can you find a single entry with the keyword 'xbox' anymore? I wasn't able to, so I think it works properly, despite the error.

Edit: Except for XboxGameCallableUI, which I don't think is removable.

I only see this
Name: Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI

Package Full Name: Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI_1000.17134.1.0_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy

Regarding to the Xbox services in Services, I can only disable it and can't remove it?
