Windows 10: Turn On or Off Game Bar in Windows 10

It all works now finally, I can only select items of the bar with the cursor

 

I can not* select the icons on the bar, I was wrong to write >.<

 

Sounds like a possible glitch with the Game bar and the game.

Are you able to use the keyboard shortcuts to select items on the Game bar?

The shortcuts work, only the cursor on the bar not work

 

For now, you can also use the arrow keys to select items on the Game bar, and press Enter to use.

 

Arrow keys not work on the bar...

 

Frankly, I wasn't aware of any 'Game' stuff in Windows 10...
Only after a pop-up showed up for a 1-2 seconds telling me to enable Game bar with Win-G, I started wondering what it was.
Now, I don't (and don't intend to) play -any- games. I have set "Record game clips, screenshots and broadcast using Game bar" to 'Off'.
Is that all there is to do, or should I also disable other settings?
(like Use Game Mode, in the same Settings panel)

Thanks.

Hey mate, *Smile

Turning off the Game Bar will stop this for you.

If you like, you could go a step further, and completely disable the Game DVR and Game Bar.

Hi Brink - many thanks indeed!

 

You're always most welcome. *Smile

 

Holy crap man thanks for the reg key. I had a problem where I couldn't even enable the Game Bar even when I forced it to enable from Settings menu (Up to date Windows 10). Executing your reg key fixed it and now I can turn on and off at will.

 

You're most welcome trashcanbin10. I'm glad it was able to help. *Smile

 

sorry, does the reg file have effect on Nvidia shadowplay? The swtich on/off button on GeForce Experience was gone for me since i disabling the DVR using REG file several months ago since the setting tab on Xbox app had crash issue to the app. Until now, every new driver that i installed on my laptop never showing the button again, but the shadowplay is showing in the game *Sad

 

Hello ekoputra, *Smile

Turning the Game Bar on or off should not have any effect on ShadowPlay since it's a separate 3rd party program.
