    Gamebar won't stop taking screenshots


    Hi, whenever I plug in my controller and open a game, Gamebar starts screenshotting or capturing the screen and doesn't stop until I quit the game or unplug the controller. I looked at Gamebar settings and there is no way to disable screenshotting or capturing. I checked the drivers for both my graphics card RX 6600 and controller Steelseries Stratus+ and they are already the latest drivers. I scanned my PC with built-in Microsoft antivirus and there are no viruses.

    :)

  2. Gamebar process problem

    Hi,

    The Gamebar Presence Writer is automatically enabled on your computer if you opened the Game bar and play a game. This process allows you to record video clips from your games.

    If you are playing a game and you want to disable the Gamebar Presence Writer, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, and then type Task Manager in the search box.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under Processes, look for Gamebar Presence Writer, and then press the
      End task button.

    To disable Game bar, here are the steps:

    • Launch Xbox app, and then go to Settings

      .
    • Click Game DVR.
    • Turn off Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR.

    If you have further queries, feel free to contact us anytime.

  3. Gamebar process problem

    Yeah, Like many people here have commented I have disabled everything in relation to Windows Game mode, gamedvr and gamebar in the settings menu. When that failed to fix the issue, I disabled everything in the registry in relation to game mode, gamedvr and
    gamebar. That stupid gamebar presence process was still there. Then I used powershell to remove the xbox app. Still there. It only started doing this today. Please get rid of this crap and give me back control over what runs on my own computer.

    Thanks.

    Gamebar process problem

    This **** runs in the background even if you uninstall Xbox app and have everything turned off it's a consistent pain in the ass that I have to kill the process every time I'm gaming because it eats my framerate when I've never used it or want to use it.
