Windows 10: Disable or fix "Get an app to open this 'ms-gamingoverlay' link

Hello,As the title states, I'm looking for a way to disable or fix the gamingoverlay link not being able to open properly. I get this message every time I start up a game, or plug in an Xbox controller to my computer. Here are a few things I've noticed about this issue:In Settings -> Gaming -> Game Bar, I've tried toggling "Allow your controller to open Game Bar" to be both on and off; the issue persists regardless. I have no other toggles on this screen.The WIN+G and other related gamebar keyboard shortcuts do not work, as in the overlay doesn't appear, my screen isn't recorded, etcIn S

MS-GAMINGOVERLAY

MY WIN 10 KEEPS ASKING ME YOULL NEED A NEW APP TO OPEN THIS MS-GAMINGOVERLAY

I was able to download and extract the files. I did run them as Administrator, but did not see the start up item. It really only occurs when I load a game that uses the ms-gamingoverlay.

Thanks for trying.

Hi David,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Click the link below to download a small free utility that does not require installation.

https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autorun...

When the file downloads, unzip it.

Depending on your system, run Autoruns or Autoruns64 as Administrator

In the search box in Autoruns, type gaming

Does that find the startup entry for ms-gamingoverlay

If it does, right click and delete the entry found
