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.

Year old thread, but this just happened to me for the first time today on a newer HP Win 11 install for no reason at all.
I just ran Task Manager and saw an xbox service in the startup. I disabled it. That got rid of it.
So I guess Microsoft randomly turns on this service for some people.
I don't want any ads on my desktop.
I have this issue too, however I've uninstalled the xbox app and it still does this on the login screen. Do I have to reinstall the app, just to make this go away?! What the f**k microsoft....
i don't have the x-box app, but i still get the adverts
Thank you for sharing. I have also been deeply troubled and finally could get out of it. With the addiction amongst youngsters going up these days, this default setting is a bit troublesome to me.
yes , very intrusive advertising which is hard to avoid, I would accept it if there was a button on the advert saying "don't show anything like me again" but instead we have to use up time solving yet another IT problem!!
