In order to solve it, I followed the next steps

  1. [Windows Key]+R and write %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell.

  2. Edit the file named LayoutModification.xml.

  3. Delete the following line that has the terms taskbar and Microsoft.Xbox.App (in my case, line 197)

  1. At last, if you haven't removed the app from the Taskbar too, do it now and restart the computer.
