    How can I disable "Gaming Services"?


    The other day I bought a new laptop, which naturally came with Windows 10 Home. After converting it to Pro, I got to disabling services I don't need. Suddenly I noticed two services identically named "Gaming Services" that cannot be disabled in the Services panel. The executables reside in WindowsApps and are called Microsoft.GamingServices_#### (lots of numbers). My other computers don't have such services and I don't game, so I don't need them. Does anyone know how they can be disabled?
