_layouts/15/start.aspx always throwing a error on SP2019 on-premise

Good evening, is there a way to disable the automatic inclusion of the _layouts/15/start.aspx on all URLs of a MYSITE web application on SharePoint 2019? All URLs that are using the _layouts/15/start.aspx are throwing an error, but if I remove it, it works without a problem. I read that on 2013 this could be related to the Minimal Download Strategy (MDS) feature, but I can't find it on 2019 to disable it.

@LuizGouvea-3685 You can go to Site settings->Manage site features, then find "Minimal Download Strategy" and deactivate it.

Or, you can use PowerShell cmdlets to disable the feature:

 $web=Get-SPWeb <your site URL>
 $web.EnableMinimalDownload=$false
 $web.Update()

Please have a try and let's know the result.

It worked. Is there a way to disable on a Web Application level?

This is a site feature, there is no OOB way to disable it at the web application level.
If you want to disable the feature for all site collections of a web application, you can use PowerShell cmdlets to loop all site collections of the web application and disable the feature for each one.
