Windows 10: Unable to remove xbox game bar which appeared after 1903 update?

I want to remove the start menu entry for the xbox game bar. Long ago I did manage to get rid of xbox (don;t remember how now) but I can't seem to make this one go away. I don't know why it is even there...if I click on it nothing happens anyhow.

Can anyone help with a foolproof method that actually works...I've tried the various suggestions that google coughed up without success.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
