Hi,

Some programs and features in your computer are part of the operating system. It's the reason why the Uninstall option is grayed out, and one of those programs is Xbox. However, we believe in saying that "Every cloud has a silver lining". Check the steps
below to remove Skype, and Xbox.

To remove Skype:

• Click the Windows icon, then search for Apps & features.
• Choose Apps & features at the left pane, then look for and click Skype.
• Once done, click on Uninstall.

To remove Xbox:

• Press the Windows icon + X on your keyboard.
• Click Windows PowerShell (Admin)
• Paste this command "Get-AppxPackage xbox | Remove-AppxPackage", then press Enter on your keyboard.

It should look like this:
