Hey, so I noticed after installing Windows update KB5082417 that the xbox app makes my PC nearly unusable and games run in single digit fps or crash.

The task manager shows that "PCAUI.exe" and "Program Compatibility Assistant User Interface" are being executed and immediately ended, over and over and over and over. As long as the xbox app is open, this continues.

Windows Antimalware Service Executable also runs a bit high on CPU usage while this is happening.

  1. Disabling Program Compatibility Assistant via the registry doesn't seem to do anything
  2. Repairing the Xbox app usually ends with "We can't repair this app", but will occasionally complete with a checkmark
  3. Restoring the app usually completes but does nothing
  4. Disabling library extensions in the app does nothing
  5. Running Commands to force delete xbox, gamebar, and reinstalling does not fix the issue
  6. Uninstalling the service update KB5082417 does appear to fix the issue, but it force installs on me, recreating the issue

Wondering if anyone has run into this and what I can do to get windows to stop treating xbox like some sort of security problem, which is what it seems to be doing.
