Removing the Game Mode Component for W11 LTSC

[Lord_Wanter]

"Hello Mr. Nuhi, I am unable to remove the 'Game Mode' component for Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC as it is completely locked. I am aware of the potential consequences but would like to remove this component experimentally; could you please help me with this? Best regards."

unlock component lock first

The component is necessary in some cases for Windows installation, if I remember correctly (I didn't have any problems without it), which is why Nuhi protected it.

And it's also necessary for the Settings app (well, just one file).

Yanlış hatırlamıyorsam, bu bileşen bazı durumlarda Windows kurulumu için gerekli (ben onsuz hiçbir sorun yaşamadım), bu yüzden Nuhi onu koruma altına aldı.

Ayrıca Ayarlar uygulaması için de gerekli (aslında sadece bir dosya).

I understand sir, thanks. Have a nice day.

Hi,

The entire Settings App or just some specific settings? Thanks!

The entire Settings App

The description also specifies The Start Menu.

Ok, there was no problem with the Start Menu when we tested it
MS has probably changed that since then.

The entire Settings App

Damn I hate when they do that and removing unwanted software breaks something seemingly unrelated but necessary. It gets harder to customize and debloat Windows with every annual update.

Ah yes, the number of components (files, registry keys) needed for something when there's no connection between them.
For Game Mode and Settings, it's just the main DLL (no registry key)
