Is there a way to disable this? I still need to use Windows sometimes
I think if you uninstall the xbox app gaming copilot goes away. Might just be for the ltsc version though, which comes with a regular game bar and no Xbox app and only gets that ability from the Xbox app.
I am once again asking you to go to https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol and use the instructions to switch your windows install to windows 10 enterprise 21h2 iot ltsc so your computer will receive security updates until the year 2032.
Gaming copilot is a windows 11 feature iirc and the game bar, start menu ads and a bunch of other stuff aren’t present on 21h2 iot ltsc.
I used WinUtil and PolicyPlus to hopefully get rid of all that BS (at least until the next update...).
