Windows 10: How to permenently delete xbox game bar, cortana, and windows defender?

Why is it that I find more and more bloatware on my PC every single day? Since I'm condemned to this garbage OS windows 10 until I can get a good copy of 7, can I get some advice uninstalling these programs?


I own my computer, I should be able to delete whatever the hell I want even if its system32 ffs. But instead Microsoft can say **** you, you're wrong, you need xbox game bar in your life. I don't even own an xbox what the ****. Also even when I disable every possible cortana option, it still manages to never allow me to close it. I don't need an antivirus, especially one that doesn't let me end the god damn process. I play video games and browse Netflix, I don't give a **** about all this **** hogging my ram, that Microsoft forces me to run 24/7.


I just want this **** off my PC until I can upgrade to Win 7, would appreciate steps to permanently kill these processes.
