    How to get rid of "Xbox game bar" window when I change my windows volume?


    Before, when I pressed the keys to change the volume on my desktop, only the small vertical bar appeared on the left to show me the numerical preference. After I started using windows key + G to capture some game footage, this big obnoxious window pops up everytime I change my volume.

    I'm obviously not looking to play xbox game bar audio all the time, so I don't want that window to pop up. I looked in settings and couldn't find any disabling function. Please let me know how to get rid of this window.


    Thank you.

    :)

    Xbox Game Bar doesn't show the volume mixer

    EDIT:

    • Edit 1: still no actual answer for a way to fix this. But I just factory reset my PC, the volume mixer works perfectly now. I know this is not the answer you wanted, but it's all we have
    Before I go into details do not suggest:

    • Fixing my audio driver by updating/removing it
    • Resetting the Xbox Game Bar app
    • Doing the 'sfc /scannow 'command
    • Telling me to use the volume mixer built into windows
    • Referring me to the Xbox Game Bar app troubleshooting page

    OK, now that we go that out of the way. I have had this problem for about 3 weeks. The issue is that the Xbox Game Bar doesn't display the volume mixer correctly, it only shows the main audio driver's volume mixer and nothing else (no app volume mixer like:
    CS:GO, Microsoft Edge Beta, Spotify etc.).

    For the Microsoft employees reading this, this is a persistent issue in Windows. I will list other posts on this forum with the same issue to show the scale of the issue. All of these posts have not been solved so far:
