[BUG]: Remove Windows Apps doesn't fully remove Xbox Apps #344

Description

Remove Windows Apps under Remove Bloatware category, doesn't fully remove Xbox Apps. I keep getting new updates on Microsoft Store for those apps. Though the updates can not complete due to the prior removal of the apps, it wastes a lot of time trying to install them only to fail after 30 min.

OS

Windows 10 22H2

Reproduction steps

Remove Bloatware > Remove Windows Apps

I cannot reproduce this, works fine on Windows 11 23H2, Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 10 21H2.

Let's take Xbox Game Bar Plugin for example, what happens after you run the script to remove it? Doesn't it disappear from the store?

What output do you get from the command line?

It disappeared from Apps list but when I check for updates on the Store, it shows that there are updates. When I try to update the removed apps, it looks like it is trying to install for 30min - 1 hour and than it fails. I think it is a Store issue.
