I deploy windows 10 pro.

Loaded down with crap.

What businesses want Xbox companion and xbox game bar running on all their work computers - seriously -> if you are on Microsoft search for xbox on your work computer.

Does Candy Crush Saga still come on the business pro ISO installs? That used to make the office laugh - who is paying $200/machine to get candy crush saga pre-installed.

In fact, the trick was they also had a separate app called app updater that would reload these things even if you uninstalled Candy Crush.

Too funny! The only way to get candy crush to go away was to uninstall it, then uninstall app updater - though people didn't date do that biz side because they didn't know what else app updater supported.

Every business should enable & demo Xbox Game bar. The video capture is awesome for helping debug things. Just record what's happening & send it over with your Help Desk ticket.

It's free, easy to use & comes with Windows.

Microsoft could & should also just load that as a stand alone tool like the snipping tool. But they haven't, so I encourage Xbox Game bar.

yeah, the xbox game bar was useful to do some video capture as a one-off.

I don't have the same experience as you, sorry I am not sure why you're facing so many issues with an OS install. What does your IT department say? Any troubleshooting steps?

Installed W10 Pro last summer, no candy crush in sight, no tricks done.
