Windows 10: PC/Xbox linking question

Hey all,

Just curious if there is a way to prevent my PC from transmitting my online/offline status and what games I'm playing to my Xbox friends. Is there a way to divide the two, or is the Xbox app on my pc essentially just an extension of my Xbox's OS?

Sometimes I just want to play on PC without being nagged to jump onto Xbox, I want privacy!

Thanks!
