Windows 10: How to disable XBOX game bar?

For starters, no, I can't seem to find a switch that everyone else seems to be instructing me to find. They seem to cease to exist exclusively for me, I've tried reinstalling windows and got no luck, and when I try to forcefully uninstall it, I always get an ms gaming overlay error when starting up a game. So how do I actually disable XBOX game bar?

In order to turn UAC competely, open regedit, and navigate to following location.

Xbox Game Bar doesn't show FPS

Xbox Game Bar not displaying FPS information despite trying various troubleshooting steps. While the Xbox Game Bar is designed to work on Windows 10 Home as well, it's possible that certain settings or configurations are causing the issue. Here are some additional steps you can try:

Check Game Bar Settings:

• Open the Xbox Game Bar by pressing Win + G.
  
• Click on the settings (gear) icon in the Game Bar overlay.
  
• Ensure that the "Performance" overlay is enabled. You can toggle it on here.
  

Check Graphics Card Compatibility:

• Make sure that your graphics card is compatible with the Xbox Game Bar's performance overlay features. Check the manufacturer's documentation for compatibility information.
  

Create a New Local User Account:

• Since you mentioned that you don't have the "Local Users and Groups" feature available on Windows 10 Home, you can try creating a new local user account and see if the Game Bar functions properly there.
  

Use Registry Editor (Advanced, proceed with caution):

• Press Win + R, type "regedit," and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
  
• Look for a key called AppCaptureEnabled. If it's not present or set to 0, it might be causing the issue. Set it to 1.
