Windows 10: It's 2024 and "you'll need a new app to open this ms-gaming overlay" is still a thing?

bin Of course this also helps me understand why MS is so about Bing. Both of their responses to questions in any kind of search are so random, and mostly dated from years ago, **** does this company do with all its money? Well besides buy out smaller indie game makers for stoopid amounts, then ruin their stuff too. i digress, so this Xbox thing i want none of it, and i have removed it all from my comp. except for this damned popup when i start a game. Please tell me the location of this wretched bug so that i may eliminate it as well. Why is XBOX even a part of windows? Much less an integral

"can't open ms-gaming overlay link"

I keep getting an error message when starting some games: "can't open ms-gaming overlay link"

None of the suggestions I found on google were helpful, like disabling the XBox gaming bar or the Steam's overlay.

Nothing works.

 

When I open games and some apps an overlay appears saying " You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link ".

When I open games and some apps an overlay appears saying " You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link ". So I try to download MS store but when I click the "Get" there is no response. Every time I click it its as if its trying to do something but can't. This has been happening since I cloned my old SSD onto a new SSD
