Looks very cool, Cliff.

Thank you:)

One of the reasons I leave Afterburner running, is, when running Performance test, I use different OC settings for my 1080, depending on if it's a 2D test, or 3D. With 2D I can OC higher and remain stabile, this only works if you do like worf and do each part independently though.

We pushed this PS Script out at work. It does a good job. It removes the Xbox app. Quite frustrating to upgrade 7 Pro to 10 Pro company wide then have an Xbox app on everyone's computer. That's not very "professional" Microsoft.
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxApp | Remove-AppxPackage

That command has Never Worked in Windows Pro .....tried it many times. Xbox is built into Windows Pro.

I just ran it from an Administrator PowerShell and it removed the Xbox app....

Tried it both ways, never has worked on either of my computers. Plus according to your spec's your running Windows HOME, I only run Windows Pro.

That's interesting. It's never given me any issues with 70+ workstations.

Like I said before its built in to Windows, I can turn SOME features Off, and show you the same screen you just showed me, BUT Xbox is NOT removed.


Then if you type "msconfig" in your run command, there is even one Xbox service that you even remove the Check mark, it may not be running, But Xbox is still installed on Windows Pro .....

Mike how about this version: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart pc....
