What: I am attempting to remove the Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI from Server 2016 v1607 (Build 14393.2068).
Why: We have to document all software packages on our servers, and I can't easily justify having and Xbox UI on a server. "Not smart enough to uninstall" is also an unacceptable justification.
How:
"Remove-AppxPackage" results in a failure due to the inability to uninstall on a per-user basis. -AllUsers switch does not appear to work in v1607
"Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage" results in a failure due to incorrect parameter.
XboxGameCallable is not visible in the "Turn Windows features on or off" menu.
