Connect your Xbox 360 console to Xbox Live using a Mac computer in place of a router Overview If you want to connect your console to Xbox Live and you do not have a router, you can connect your console to a Mac and share your Mac’s Internet connection.
I hope you can help me solve problem I’m having. I just bought three new HP desktop computers for my office and they all have Windows 10 on them.
When I was setting them up I uninstalled several pre-installed apps that I know my employees won’t need. But there are a couple of apps that I can’t uninstall because I can’t find a way to do it. My question is do you know of a way to remove an app besides right-clicking on it and clicking “Uninstall”? The one I’d really like to remove is the Xbox app because I don’t want it on my office computers. Rick’s answer: I really appreciate your kind words about my blog, Phillip. I’m glad you enjoy the tips. As you have discovered, Microsoft has apparently decided to follow the lead of the mobile phone manufacturers and make it difficult to remove some pre-installed apps.

DarkLounge The DarkLounge VLC skin switches things around by putting player controls and the volume slider at the top of the window. Move the theme.vlt to ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2.
The good news is you can manually uninstall many of those stubborn pre-installed Windows 10 apps using a simple Powershell command, and the Xbox app is one of them. Follow the steps below to remove the Xbox app from your Windows 10 PCs: 1 – Press the Windows+ S key combination to open a Search box. 2 – Type powershell into the Search box, then right-click on Windows Powershell and click Run as administrator. (Click Yes in response to the confirmation dialog.) 3 – Copy and paste the following line of text after the Powershell command prompt: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* Remove-AppxPackage 4 – Press the Enter key.
That’s all there is to it. You should now find that the Xbox app is missing from the apps list. Update from Phillip: You’re the bomb, Rick!
