I respectfully ask Microsoft to PLEASE to STOP  trying to provide gaming features for PC gamers! You are not helping us! You are causing our games to lag to the point that our games are unplayable. Stick with XBox! Do not install gaming features that are automatically enabled. Provide XBox features on XBox NOT Windows! If XBox players want to play games on the PC they should download PC games! I spend hours trying to chase down lag issues and it usually ends up being a gaming feature added from a Microsoft update. (Like yesterdays update!) I'm begging you to PLEASE STOP!

    Hi,

    I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Advisor, 18 years experienced windows guide. I am here to work with you on this problem.

    User feedback hub and send your feedback of

    "Do not install gaming features that are automatically enabled." to Mircosoft.

    Refer here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/402156...

    Kindly follow these steps to stop updates:

    • You can mark your WiFi connection as metered to disable Windows 10 forced updates.
    • Using Services:
    1. In Control Panel > Administrative Tools, open 'Services'.
    2. In Services window, scroll to Windows Update and turn off the process.
    3. To turn it off, right-click on the process, click on Properties and select Disabled.
    • Also try GP Edit to disable update:

    Windows logo key + R then type gpedit.msc and click OK.

    Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.

    Double-click Configure Automatic Updates.

    Select Disabled in Configured Automatic Updates on the left, and click Apply and OK to disable the Windows automatic update feature.

    If you need to update your Windows version later, you can repeat the steps above, then select Enabled to turn on this feature, so that you can continue to download the updates.

    Do let me know if you require any further help on this. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
