How to delete all gaming apps from my laptop?

Tried all that you recommended bar the last one, which I'm not equipped to understand!

Hello Peter Steadman, welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Xbox, Game Bar, and Gaming Services are built-in components of Windows 11 and are considered core parts of the system. There is no official way to completely and permanently uninstall them, and even if you remove them, they may return after future Windows updates.

You can try to remove most of these components by running these commands in Administrator Powershell:

Get-AppxPackage *xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *gaming* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.GamingServices* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {
    $_.DisplayName -like "*xbox*" -or $_.DisplayName -like "*gaming*"
} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

After running these commands: open Microsoft Store, go to your profile settings, and turn off “Update apps automatically.” If these components come back after an update, you will need to run the commands again.

Unfortunately, this is intentional, and there is no supported way to completely and permanently remove these components. There are some third-party debloat scripts out there but using those might cause problems with system features, and Microsoft don't recommend them.
