2025-02-13T00:55:38+00:00 Listen, don't change registry values, don't reinstall game bar...Simply download revo uninstaller, go to the "windows apps" and remove all the garbage off of your computer you don't want. don't mess with media extensions, but anything to do with game bar, game recorder, game speech blah blah blah...delete it. and scan for left over files and registry entries and delete those too. problem solved. (edit: Disclaimer...if you delete the wrong thing, that's on you.)

2025-01-23T14:24:45+00:00 LOL, notice that John Dev and the other pro-Microsoft people stopped replying when they were told their solutions don't work and people do not want Game Bar on their system. Looks like their 'help' does not cover 'I want to remove Microsoft products because they are causing me trouble."

2025-01-23T02:43:48+00:00 Hi John Dev, I have a major concern with the advise you have given. You have completely ignored the question proposed. Do you get paid by MS for this incorrect help? If not why are your simping a multi billion dollar company doing their tech support for free? By the way, the advise you gave is completely incorrect. You should not be giving advice on what you don't know or understand! YOU are wasting every bodies **** time!
