PC gamers claim Windows 11’s Gaming Copilot is capturing gameplay for AI training by default – but what it’s actually doing is spoiling performance



  • A claim has been made that Windows 11’s Gaming Copilot AI might be capturing gameplay and sending it back to Microsoft
  • Gaming Copilot is a beta AI feature in the Game Bar
  • There’s confusion about whether this privacy concern is valid or not, but it’s clear that Gaming Copilot can impact your frame rates (slightly) in games

While Microsoft is continuously making efforts to improve gaming on Windows 11, most recently with a new ‘full-screen experience’ mode for handhelds, and also an AI gaming assistant, the latter is currently mired in some controversy.

As Wccftech spotted, according to a poster on the ResetEra forum, Windows 11’s Gaming Copilot may be actively monitoring and capturing gameplay and sending this back to Microsoft for ‘model training’ (of the AI) by default. The poster shares a screenshot of the ‘model training on text’ option being enabled by default, raising concerns over privacy therein.
