    Fromreddit, it worked for me.

    To resolve this you can also use the powershell to edit the registry like this:

    reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR /f /t REG_DWORD /v "AppCaptureEnabled" /d 0
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore /f /t REG_DWORD /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /d 0

    This disables the game recorder software which seems to still think that the gaming overlay is still present.

    This was the solution to my problems, thank you Sir, have a good one :)

    This works pretty fine to me! Thanks you.

    Thank you SionGreece. Your reg edit does still work. I had uninstalled GameBar and Xbox as I have no need. Then this annoying pop up every time I start the game with a link to the Microsoft store that was useless. After several days of searching and trying various suggestions ... this reg edit worked for me. A 1000 kudos sire.

    Tried several online solutions, this is the only one that worked on my new Dell XPS8960. Thanks so much.
