Recommending the script that removes "Xbox Identity Provider" app (`Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider`) at the "Standard" level has led to unforeseen consequences for Windows users using Xbox sign-in. This commit introduces additional documentation and reduces the recommendation level to mitigate these issues. - Change recommendation level from "Standard" to "Strict". - Improve documentation to outline the impact of uninstalling the "Xbox Identity Provider" app. - Update script title to warn users about the breaking behavior.
