Applications still showing on Start menu after powershell deletion


Hi,

I've used powershell to remove some apps (like Xbox games).

On one account, it cleaned up the start menu just fine.

Second account, they were showing on the start menu, so I ran powershell again and verified everything was gone that I wanted, but Xbox is still showing on the menu list. *Not* as a tile, but in the "All Apps" list. I have also tried looking at the Start Menu in File Explorer for that User and can not see the App listed.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

 

Xbox App, powers on Xbox One X but app doesn't know it.

Hi,

Most times, when you try to start the game and/or app, the splash screen displays for a few seconds before sending your back to the Home screen. If this is the case, let us walk you through the steps on how to resolve this concern. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Start the app again

• If the app is available on the Home screen in either the big center tile or one of the four
  most recently used tiles highlight that tile with your controller (but don't select it).
• Press the Menu button on the controller.
• If the option to Quit is present, select it. (If it's not present, the app is not currently running.)
• Once you're sure the app is closed, re-launch the app by selecting it from the recently used tiles or from
  My games & apps.

If the app doesn't start, please restart your Xbox One X console.

Step 2: Restart your Xbox One console.

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  
  Note: Pressing the Xbox button opens the guide from any screen on the console.
  
• Select Settings.
• Select Restart console.
• Select Yes to confirm.
• Try to launch the app again.

Step 3: Uninstall and reinstall the app

If the issue still isn't resolved, try uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it. Here's how:

• On Home, move right and select My games & apps.
• Highlight the content you want to uninstall.
• Press the Menu button on your controller.
• Select Uninstall.
