Is there a solution to fix my cursor lock when using Xbox game bar?

So for a couple weeks (about 3 weeks now) anytime I use xbox gamebar on windows 11 to join a party to talk to some friends, my cursor lock on all applications would break making my mouse cursor go to another monitor when working on something or playing a game. This still happens when the application is fullscreen or borderless full screen. I confirmed it is the xbox gamebar as I have no other problems with cursor lock when I don't use the gamebar. All my updates, drivers, and apps are up to date and repaired/not broken. currently I'm using a app that will manually lock the cursor to a screen, but would rather not need to do so. Hopefully this is enough info, if not I can clarify more.

    Here is a temporary fix to the issue, you can use the Xbox App to use all the essential Xbox features, and you will never have the issue, it may not be ideal as you can't use recordings or screenshots but you can still use messages, parties and so on!

    Hope this helps.

    I've been encountering the same thing for a few days now.

    I called windows support about it, and after re downloading windows, it fixed the issue, even while using game bar.
    My computer automatically updated last night, and now it's back.
    Currently in the process of re downloading windows again. Hopefully I can just prevent windows updates and solve the issue that way from now on.

    Hello I am having the same problem with my PC I have just finished doing all of the other thing you have listed and they didn't work.

    I am using a Razer DeathAdder V2 X Hyperspeed with the Razer Synapse tool for my mouse.

    Are there any solutions?

    Hi,

    May I ask if you use Razer Synapse tool for your mouse or keyboard? Do you have the app installed?
