what do you do if you do not have the xbox app installed?
Every time I login to my PC a screen advertising Game Pass appears. How do I stop this?

I bought a new PC recently and have Windows 11 installed. After a recent upgrade force by Microsoft, I now receive a full screen ad for Game Pass every time I log in to my PC. There appears to be no way to decline this product and stop the ad from appearing. I'm nearly 70, have no kids in my house and have no interest (and I mean NO interest) in using Game Pass. Yet I have to decline the offer EVERY time I log in. Microsoft seems to no longer offer phone support to home users, so this community approach may be my only hope for relief. Does anyone know how to stop this Game Pass screen from appearing? Thank you.

same here i unistalled that stupid app as soon as i got my laptop.
But this is popping up. Did you find a way to stop it?
