Windows 10: Unable to remove Google Chrome from Xbox app

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/apps_windows_10-win_xbox/google-chrome-in-xbox-app/b4c41265-705d-49eb-9e9a-e7f9dfd90367


I am having this same issue and none of the suggestion worked. I am running Chrome 71 on Windows 10 version 1809 10.0.17763.195.

Google Chrome in Xbox app.

Hi xnerd1000,

After reading through the course of action you've completed to get rid of Chrome, I suggest that you re-add Chrome shortcut back to the Programs folder where you initially deleted it. That's the main reason why your Chrome shortcut won't show up in the Start
menu tile or pinned apps.

To do this, simply right-click on your Desktop shortcut for Chrome, select
Copy. Go to C:/Program Data/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs. Paste the Chrome shortcut. Once completed, it should now be back to normal.

Just in case your initial issue returns: Chrome still tagged as a game after removing it from the list, then try to reset the Xbox app.

Start menu > Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & features > search for Xbox > Advanced options > Reset

Let me know if you have other concerns.

All the best!

 

Apps and Google Chrome unable to connect to internet

Hi Jack,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

Please be informed if you have made changes to the Operating System prior to this issue.

Also, as you have mentioned non stock Windows apps are unable to connect to internet, it seems to be an issue with proxy server settings.

I suggest you to uninstall the browser from Programs and features and reinstall it from the website.

You can also uninstall the browser from the Control Panel:

• Press Windows + x key to open a task list from the bottom left corner of the screen.
• Select Control Panel.
• Select Programs and Features.
• Right click on Google Chrome and select uninstall
  and follow the onscreen instructions.
• Check the Also delete your browsing data box and then click the
  Uninstall button to remove Google Chrome from your computer. The process may take up to a minute.

Try to download Google Chrome from the below link using Internet Explorer

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html

If the issue still persists with Google Chrome, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer's website.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue to assist you further.

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.
