Disable Game Bar and Game Mode

This is a special optimization that Microsoft implemented for those who use their computers to play games. The Game Bar may be triggered accidently from a shortcut (Windows key + G), so it is best to disable it altogether if you aren’t going to use it.

 

  1. Press the windows key and type in settings, then click enter.

 

  1. On the left sidebar, click on Gaming.

 

  1. Click the Game Bar page on the right side.

 

  1. Turn off the Allow your controller to open Game Bar toggle switch.

 

  1. Return to the Gaming page

 

  1. Click the Game Mode from the Gaming page.

  1. Turn off the Game Mode toggle switch.
