Minimizing Windows 11 Data Collection

Just checking, have we used Sophia’s Script as inspiration for some of the steps here?

Just a heads up, only the “Xbox Identity Provider” package (Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_12.130.16001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) and “Gaming Services” (Microsoft.GamingServices_32.107.3004.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) is needed to authenticate with games that utilize Xbox accounts to authenticate, such as Halo, Minecraft, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and Forza Horizons 5 (all of which except for minecraft were through steam). You can uninstall all of the other xbox packages and these games will all still work fine as long as Xbox Identity Provider and Gaming Services is still installed.

I am not sure about Microsoft Store apps however, as I don’t have any games on the Windows Store, however, I am pretty sure those apps do in fact unfortunately require the Xbox app and all of the other xbox stuff to be installed for them to run.
