    How do I change an app from being set as a game?


    I used the Xbox Gamebar while using Microsoft Edge because I wanted to record my screen. It asked me if Edge was a game and I said yes so I could record. But now that Edge is set as a game, I won't receive notifications while using it. I don't want to change the setting on whether I receive notifications during games, so how do I change Edge from being set as a game?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Game Apps

    Based on the error you've received, this seems to be due to corrupted Store cache. We suggest manually resetting the Store app from the Settings menu. Here are the steps:

    • Click Start, then Settings.
    • Select System.
    • Select Apps & features.
    • Find the Store app, then click Reset.
    • Click Reset again to confirm.
    • Restart your device so that the changes will take effect. Sign in to the app. Launch the game and check if the same issue occurs.

    We also recommend accessing the game from the Start menu. Here are the steps:

    • Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the main screen.
    • Select All apps, and then find your game in the list. Check if you encounter the same issue.

    We also recommend signing in to a different user profile. This can help determine if this is due to corrupted user profile. Here are the steps:

    • Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon from the bottom-left corner of the main screen.
    • Select your account name from the top-left corner of the menu, and then select Switch account.
    • Sign in with an account other than the one you were using.
    • Restart the game to see if it works correctly.

    If you don't have a different user profile, kindly perform the steps provided on this link
