"When launching various games, an additional Microsoft service has been activated in the background for some time now. In this process, data is automatically transmitted to a Microsoft endpoint via GameBar.exe. [...]the IP address and timestamp of each request are also transmitted. The transmitted parameters enable assignment to specific applications or products and, in the event of repeated use, can enable recurring recognition and analysis of user and/or system behavior.[...]This behavior is also active if users have disabled all services in their system's "Gaming" settings."https://gameindustry.eu/blog/windows-gamebar-spies-again/windows placebo settings being ignored? truly shocking... :awoo_sleep: its almost like a proprietary black box with regional and even specific user identification can covertly transmit anything it wants at anytime.
