Windows updated their XBox app which is in your windows 10. GameDVR is a feature that constantly records your game play and as you can imagine, that costs performance. Using plays.tv/shadowplay costs considerably less, not 100% sure why, but disable it.

1. Open Xbox app
2. Sign in with your Microsoft Acc
3. Hamburger Menu
4. Settings
5. GameDVR
6. OFF

Should look like this.

-or-

1. Open Registry Editor (Run > regedit)
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore
3. Set the value of DWORD "GameDVR_Enabled" to 0
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\ApplicationManagement\AllowGameDVR
5. Set the value of DWORD "value" to 0


I noticed a considerable decrease in cpu/gpu usage when I turned it off. I didn't even know it was a thing but im glad it's off. It defaults to 'on' as well, so unless you turn it off manually it's just sucking resources.

Or type the following into windows powershell:

Code:
Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage


You can replace the xboxapp part with most apps you don't like and they'll go away for better or worse!

frankly it wouldn't surprise me if gamedvr was a part of windows you had to turn off via the xbox app as opposed to being a part of the app, like a non-microsoft product would do.
