Cannot turn off Game Center in iCloud

I am having the same issue and keep finding the same question but no answer. I don’t use Game Center and I don’t want it backed up to iCloud but whenever I try to toggle it off, it turns white and freezes my settings instantly. When I reopen settings the screen is black for a few seconds before the settings show and Game Center is not turned off. Today after one of the failed attempts to toggle it off, I noticed my VPN tried to connect even though I had deleted the previous profile. Normally, Norton VPN would ask for permission to connect first. I am suspecting a malicious actor here because I am not getting all my emails either. Somehow Game Center seems to have a connection to iCloud email and VPN but I am not sure what it is.

Thank you for your help

Found this out just now. In lockdown mode you cannot access Game Center or turn it off in iCloud - at least on my iPad. Thanks
