Advice Request Sticky Game Assist

When you find a new app installed in your device, the mechanism behind this is as follows:

• You get Windows update that brings new apps added to your "Provisioned apps".
• If "SilentInstalledAppsEnabled" is "True" in your registry, it will check your "Provisioned apps" and compare it with installed apps and reinstall any missing app.

So to stop reinstalling apps, you either can disable "SilentInstalledAppsEnabled" or delete the app from your "Provisioned apps".

To check your "Provisioned apps" run the following command in terminal as admin:

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Select PackageName

I uninstalled Game Assist after noticing it in HiBit's store apps manager. It didn't reinstall; however, I'll watch and update here if it restores.
