Windows 10: Game bar has stupid notifications i cant stop, help!

I am getting multiple notifications with sound included for a thing called the microsoft rewards program on a daily basis, which i had intentionally gone out of my way to remove myself from. I have turned off every notification in the app except for "notify me when im invited to a party or multiplayer game. Literally every other notification has been turned off, through the Windows+G menu and going through running the xbox app itself. I have gone to microsoft.com and opted my account out of the rewards program days ago and the notifications still happen in droves. I am on the verge of attempt

:)

 

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

 

Game Bar notification issue

Ive been having this issue for a while now.

Using Game bar on Win10 I do not receive any message/group chat invite/game invite notifications; as a banner, or in the action centre, or even a notification sound.

Since messages have now been exclusively moved to being handled by Game Bar, this leaves me missing out on invitations and other Xbox notifications on my Win10 device when actively playing games or doing anything else.

I have tried all the troubleshooting short of doing a clean install of Win10 that I can think of.

This including:

• Checking that notification banner is on (it was)
  
• Turning off focus assist
  
• Checking background apps (both Xbox and Game bar are "on")
  
• Battery saver is off
  
• Ease of access: notifications are set for 5 seconds
  
• Turned off all settings under Settings>Gaming, restarted machine and turned them back on.
  
• Ran a clean-up AND a System File Checker (SFC) scan in Command prompt (multiple times over the span of a few months)
  
• Restarted Windows Explorer
  
• Updated/checked registry.
  
  • My PC was initially missing the "ToastEnabled" DWORD registry under "PushNotifications" but I have manually added this back. This has also not fixed the issue
    
• Ran the troubleshooter for windows apps through Settings
  
• Manually reset the Windows store using command prompt (wsreset.exe)
  
• Tried "Repair" AND "Reset" in the Apps section of Settings for both the Xbox and Game Bar apps.
  
• Uninstalled and Reinstalled both Xbox and Game Bar apps using BOTH the normal method and manually through Powershell in Admin
  
  • dism /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages | Select-String PackageName | Select-String xbox
    
  • dism /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages | `
    
    Select-String PackageName | `
    
    Select-String xbox | `
    
    ForEach-Object {$_.Line.Split(':')[1].Trim()} | `
    
    ForEach-Object { dism /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:$_}
    
• Countless Reboots of my machine
  
• Toggling every notification linked button off and on, in both Windows Settings and the Xbox app & Game bar settings
  
• All my apps are updated to their most current version on the windows store
  
• All windows updates are current (no updates left)
  
• Disabled Antivirus (except the built in Windows Defender)
  
• Re-registered Action Centre through Powershell
  
  • Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }
    

Additionally when im checking the Settings>System>Notifications&Actions apps list, both the "Xbox" and "Game bar" apps do not appear, and there doesnt seem to be a way to add apps to this list, or get them to be recognised by my PC to be added automatically.

Nothing in this list has worked for me and im wondering if anyone else has come across the issue and managed to solve it, as im at a complete loss now.
