    Thanks a lot, I was able to integrate win32calc.

    I also removed the XboxApp package, which removed the "Gaming" menu of the Windows 10 Settings app. I guess I need to remove only specific Xbox Apps, if I want to stay with that option.

    Could you tell us what Xbox apps are safe to remove without breaking things?
    I'd like to install every needed from the store after my install. Xbox app and XboxIdentityProvider als available from the store.

    Hi Friends,
    Greets,
    Known Issues say : Component removal has been removed temporarily.
    So, I can't use component removal on a source boot ?

    Thanks & Regards. ...

    Component removal works with the latest toolkit version v9.5 up to Windows 1909. i used it successfully to remove most components.

    Regarding the bundled Xbox removal package: What component exactly removes the "Gaming" category in Windows 10 settings?

    The Toolkit component removal removes these components when Xbox App is removed

    XboxApp
    XboxGameOverlay
    XboxGamingOverlay
    XboxSpeechToTextOverlay
    Xbox.TCUI

    The XboxIdentityProvider is allowed to be removed separately to check whether it is required for Store to operate properly.

    Thanks, could you please tell me which of those apps is responsible for:
    - Xbox Gamebar
    - "Gaming" category in Windows 10 settings
    - Also: Is it safe to remove "XboxGameCallableUI"?

    It would be great to know, since I want to remove unneeded Xbox components, while maintaining a working Xbox app with dependencies.

    I wish great holidays to you, MSMG!

    The tool primarily talks about preparing ISO even before installation but yes you can use it afterwards as well.

    EDIT : Could not find a way to use the tool on an installation!

    hi you do not need to do this is a unnecessary thing because this application is native to LTSC just look inside System32 and you will see what I'm saying ok.;):)

    In v1903/v1909, the Xbox components are like

    Xbox - XboxApp
    Xbox Game Bar - XboxGameOverlay and XboxGamingOverlay
    Xbox Game Speech Window - XboxSpeechToTextOverlay
    Xbox TCUI - Xbox.TCUI
    Xbox Identity Provider - XboxIdentityProvider
    Xbox Game UI - XboxGameCallableUI

    The Xbox App is required as a dependency for all other Xbox related components.

    XboxGameCallableUI is required for Solitaire Collections App

    Wish you and everyone here a very Happy New Year.

    You need to use the Toolkit's Remove->Remove Windows Components->System Apps->XboxApp Menu to remove Xbox Apps.

    For v1809 the support build is 17763.1 and for v1909 the support build is 18363.418 or above

    The Toolkit has added only the component that are safe to removal for proper functioning of the OS.

    File Picker may be required by Setting Apps->Accounts->Create your Picture
