Windows 10: Deleting useless apps

My laptop gets slower with each update. I think if I could delete all the extra apps that come along with the updates, like the xbox app, then my laptop might function faster than a brick. When I click the uninstall button on these useless apps, nothing happens. Does anyone know how to delete this useless junk? I feel like they keep throwing in all this junk to bog me down so I will have to buy a faster laptop. :/ I really just need a way to make the uninstall button work.
