I look at those .reg entries no such registry entry exsists in creator update

 

Nope. They need to be added. *Smile

 

well i ran that and no dice proc of Gamebar presence writer.exe stillt here and still run when any game starts I dont think it part of the game bar cause xbox APP is the game bar and I had it removed for long as i can remember and there was no such proc starting up till, i installed creator update

 

If you right click on the writer.exe process in Task Manager and click on "Open file location", what is it's source location?

 

system32 folder the file is signed for by microsoft

 

I don't have that file in my W10 build 15063.14 system.

I did see a reference of that as a possible trojan though. To be safe, you might scan your system with an AV program.

 

I have .11, it not trojan process explore see the file as it clean file is owned by trustedinstaller and if take ownership of file, and rename it i throws out dcom errors just like searchui.exe will if you do that to it.

Owned an verifed by microsoft in process explorer

what is GameBarPresenceWriter.exe - Microsoft Community

that even says it part xbox stuff

 

Ah, ok. I was under the false impression the file name was "writer.exe" instead. *Redface

It doesn't appear that "GameBarPresenceWriter.exe" is related to the settings in this tutorial. I see the same as you even though the game bar is turned off.

 

yah that is what I want to know how to turn off disable, I think that process is why Swtor is randomly crash on me

Swtor was fine and before update and that extra process which trying to hook xbox stuff into games a mmo at could be cause of crash.

 

Win 15063.13. Settings and gamebar enabled from Win 10 Settings, but in-game when I press Win+G I only see screen flashing, no bar popup...

EDIT:
Ok, non-working gamebar with 90% of fullscreen games seems normal... Double flash means has been recognized as a game anyway. Don't know how to stream though: Win+Alt+B does apparently nothing...
Window or Fullwindow games do display the Gamebar.

 

I turned around but the game bar does not appear even if I press the buttons, I have the Creators Update, is this normal ?

 

Hello TheKerevas, *Smile

Just to verify, but do you have the Game Bar turned on?

 

Yep

 

You're settings look like you have changed to press the Shift+Home keys instead of pressing the default Win+G keys to open the Game Bar for an active window. As a test, you might change it back to see if it will open then.
