Disable Cross Device Experience Host

[ProgrammerBruce]

Was it already considered to add a script to Disable or Remove Cross Device Experience Host?

Maybe it would fit in the "Remove Bloatware > Remove non-essential services" category, though it is related to "Remove Bloatware > Remove Windows Apps > Remove Phone Apps".

I do not yet know what issues arise if it is removed or disabled.

The package name may be MicrosoftWindows.CrossDevice.

Get-AppxPackage -Name *Device*
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | where {$_.PackageName -like '*Device*'}

From winget, maybe it is this:

winget search 9NTXGKQ8P7N0
Name                         Id           Version Source
----------------------------------------------------------
Cross Device Experience Host 9NTXGKQ8P7N0 Unknown msstore

To disable it, a registry setting might be:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Mobility]
"CrossDeviceEnabled"=dword:00000000

In Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.2454 GUI, the component is listed in "Settings > System > System components". I do not see it listed in build 26100.2314.

I've done some additional research and added the script, it will be released in next patch. Thank you @ProgrammerBruce. It's good to create issues rather than discussions for these for better managing TODO tasks.
