    Invasive Game Overlay


    With the recent anniversary patch the XBox Game Overlay pops up now whenever I play some games that have nothing to do with Microsoft. I find this kind of thing extremely annoying, I didn't ask for this and don't want this overlay running on my PC. From what I can see, however, there is no way to disable it?

    :)

    Unwanted photos!

    I sent the screenshots, was it helpful to you regarding my invasion of photos/game stuff? Thank you, it's a nightmare.

    Windows 10 photo viewer slow to open

    This was the problem the entire time for me. Turning off the In-Game Overlay made Windows Photo Viewer go from 10+ seconds per photo to instantly working. I was unable to pull up the NVIDIA Control Panel from within Windows 10 Control Panel at first, so
    I installed the latest version of the NVIDIA driver (including the GeForce Experience feature) and the option to turn off the In-Game Overlay was located under the General tab within GeForce Experience.

    I have done that, but since the anniversary patch the overlay is still there.

    OK in the end I seem to have found a registry key that switches it off. I have no idea how it enabled itself. It's possible that the key has been there since the early days, but some change in the anniversary enabled it even though the xbox app has been removed.
