    To uninstall the Xbox Game Bar and associated gaming features on Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Settings: Right-click on the Start menu and select Settings.
    2. Navigate to Apps: In the left pane, click on Apps.
    3. Optional Features: Under the Apps & features section, you may find the Xbox Game Bar listed. If not, you can also check under Optional features.
    4. Uninstall: If Xbox Game Bar appears in the list, click on it and select the Uninstall button to remove it.
    5. Remove Gaming Features: You may also want to check for any additional gaming features that can be removed in the same section.

    If you cannot find the Game Bar in the Apps section, it may be integrated into the system and not removable through standard methods. In that case, you can disable it instead by going to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar and toggling it off.
