If you don't have any games bought from MS Store and don't need any sort of XBox connectivity to your PC the whole XBox experience can be uninstalled completely. Either use Powershell or if your lazy as I was, W10Privacy.

Nah, thanks, it's fine like this. I didn't have any stuttering either but sometimes I like to fix things that aren't broken :P

This are additional commands (run after removing the XBox apps with Win10Privacy), they disable the services, delete GameBarPresenceWriter.exe and disable action center gaming settings. Either throw them in an elevated command prompt or create a cmd/bat file, instead of deleting the file it could also be moved or renamed to something like GameBarPresenceWriter.bak, that way it is possible to revert the operation.

Yikes! Some pretty risky looking stuff in here. Although I to have had a terrible experience with the CU thus far, I think I finally figured the gaming/stuttering stuff out a few weeks ago. Disabling all of the Game DVR stuff didn't really help at all, so I unchecked each box in the Settings->Gaming section and did tests with MS Store games and steam games. The only one that really made a huge difference was unchecking "Show Game Bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified". Since doing that my gaming has been MUCH better and nearly identical to 1607 before I bought my 1080 and updated to 1703. I just ran several games in a window with task manager open next to it and none of them open any of the gamebar or broadcast exe files. Stutter is 99% gone. Perhaps I'm lucky, but maybe some of these Gamebar/gameDVR/Gamemode things are tied together in ways MS isn't willing or able to tell us about.

That is why I sticked to Win 10 Enterprise LTSB Annyversary.

I'm using the exact same thing. People have been using the creators update to justify sticking to windows 7 but meanwhile the anniversary update is working perfectly fine and still gets all the latest updates and security fixes. I'm sticking to it until Microsoft fixes their crap. Hopefully everything's well by the next update because I'm really looking forward to those new VR headsets.

This existed even before the creators' update and I already disabled that crap as soon as I installed Win 10. Glad I stayed away from the creators' update though You don't need to rename anything btw, there's a far simpler method

Windows 10 always has a little something hidden to further aggravate it's users.

My favorite is sleep self destruction. Windows puts itself to sleep so fast that SSD's caches are not flushed and drive gets minor corruption time to time. Shutdown/hibernation has no issues.

I'm all for unification, but, it's not unified for me until I see proper full versions of Halo 6, Fight Night and UFC on PC. Basically, every Xbox game must have a PC version.

Game mode is actually good from my experience, will be leaving it on for now (win 10 64 with latest updates). I'm playing Prey 2017 at the moment and there is a noticeable difference on vs off, less hitching with it on. Left the game bar on also, but turned off DVR.

Or, better yet, windows users are irritated by anything and everything that it does not matter what windows does. Do nothing, windows users are irritated and want to riot. Do something, windows users are irritated and want to riot.
