    My GameBar is completely broken & I need help fixing it


    My problems started when I followed Windows official guide on how to change the location of my captures folder, (from C: to DMy GameBar is completely broken & I need help fixing it :) Basically this ended up not working at all, and instead caused a few major issues surrounding GameBar.

    One of my problems is that when I moved the Captures folder to the D: Drive and back to C: via cutting, GameBar now says that my saved captures are in the D: Drive, even though they aren’t, I don’t have any clips or even a folder called Captures there. This means my gallery section is full of random images and assets from various games I have on my D: Drive, which is very problematic. Repairing & Resetting the app has done literally nothing to fix this, it’s changed not a single thing.

    And of course I can’t even uninstall then reinstall GameBar to hope that fixes the problem, and there’s no support articles that even come close to this on the Windows Troubleshooting guides. I just want to reset my GameBar to the default state it was in before I made these changes, but have no idea how.

    EDIT : After restarting my PC, my entire captures folder is completely gone without warning. Over 3000 clips I had saved just gone into thin air now.

  2. Gamebar process problem

    Yeah, Like many people here have commented I have disabled everything in relation to Windows Game mode, gamedvr and gamebar in the settings menu. When that failed to fix the issue, I disabled everything in the registry in relation to game mode, gamedvr and
    gamebar. That stupid gamebar presence process was still there. Then I used powershell to remove the xbox app. Still there. It only started doing this today. Please get rid of this crap and give me back control over what runs on my own computer.

    Thanks.

  3. Gamebar process problem

    Hi,

    The Gamebar Presence Writer is automatically enabled on your computer if you opened the Game bar and play a game. This process allows you to record video clips from your games.

    If you are playing a game and you want to disable the Gamebar Presence Writer, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, and then type Task Manager in the search box.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under Processes, look for Gamebar Presence Writer, and then press the
      End task button.

    To disable Game bar, here are the steps:

    • Launch Xbox app, and then go to Settings

    • Turn off Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR.

    Gamebar process problem

    This **** runs in the background even if you uninstall Xbox app and have everything turned off it's a consistent pain in the ass that I have to kill the process every time I'm gaming because it eats my framerate when I've never used it or want to use it.
