Question EdgeGameAssist What is up with this thing, keeps creating windows errors!

[iTRiP]

Lately I don't even want to bother with this, but let's see what we can read about this and what can be done to remedy the errors I'm getting with this Edge Game Assist.exe

Firstly I never said I would have this installed on my Windows 11, but for some reason even if Uninstalled this app just keeps coming back and causes an error again without even being executed by the user on this pc.

Secondly why does this app have an error on my gaming pc and not on my office pc?

Thirdly why do I as a gamer have to be concerned with this, witch I am as of now asking about it...

If they wanted me to utilize it, why don't it just work right and maybe this app could be utilized, something to do with game bar.

Thanks, that doesn't seem related thou.

EdgeGameAssist.exe

You can see it's being reinstalled without permission from the user or admin in apps of Windows 11, and then when playing normal pc games not in edge browser it creates windows error saying the app EdgeGameAssist.exe application error.

Have you scanned for malware?

Also, have you run DISM and SFC to check your Windows health?

Seems, as suggested to the previous link, the reinstall behavior is expected. Searching the topic seems to confirm that behavior.

Is Edge your default browser?

Windows seems to be in good condition besides this issue, but I'll do the checks just to be sure anyways.

Only use EDGE browser yes.

Now what are those commands again:

Admin console, something like this:

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Is that right?

Just for grins, change your default browser to see if the behavior changes.
