Title

Windows 11 must be configured to disable Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting.

Control

This is NA for Windows 11 LTSC. If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR\ (For GPO-managed systems) Or Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\ApplicationManagement (For Intune-managed systems) Value Name: AllowGameDVR Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000000 (0)

Discussion

Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting is intended for use with games; however, it could record screenshots of other applications and expose sensitive data. Disabling the feature will prevent this from occurring. Note: A different registry location is needed when systems are managed by Intune versus GPO.

Fix

For GPO-managed systems: Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting >> "Enables or disables Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting" to "Disabled". For Intune-managed systems: Revise the Intune policy to disable Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting.
