Hi,
The Gaming option in the Windows setting page we distractive for our users. I don’t no why Microsoft have released this feature on a Pro version. All of our work PC has this option enabled by default.
I am looking for the option to remove or disable or block this feature for all of my Windows 10 domain computers. Nobody is using this feature and nobody is playing games on a work PC but still this feature is distractive on the work PC.
Thanks

+1 to the @Carson Group Policy editing option. I have been using this since from the Windows creator updates from Windows 10 version 1709 to Windows 10 version 1909 I didn’t had any issue or changes on this policy.
Open the Group Policy setting in your domain server and go to Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Policies/Control Panel/
Double click and open Settings Page Visibility and Enable the policy if already not enabled
paste the below text : hide:gaming-gamebar;gaming-gamedvr;gaming-broadcasting;gaming-gamemode;gaming-trueplay;gaming-xboxnetworking;mobile-devices
