Bug - Game Bar cannot be completely disabled

I know what is causing the problem (inability to disable the Xbox Game Bar link activation). Most of these steps I've already done; and I know that none of remaining steps will fix this problem aside from (possibly) a repair/fresh install of Windows, which I'm not willing to do for the aforementioned reasons.

I'm pretty sure what is happening is that under normal circumstances (on non-customized Windows 11 installations), the Game Bar autorun always triggers when you connect a controller. If the Game Bar exists, it handles the link and does nothing (if it's turned off); but if the Game Bar is removed, this causes an error. This is, at the very least, short-sighted design; if not an outright bug.

There are two reasons why I say this is a bug:

1. Autorun links should be disabled when their corresponding app/feature is removed. Or at the very least, it should be possible to manually disable them. Cleaning up dead links is a basic and expected task when removing software.
   
2. The Game Bar fails to install with the following command:
   "Get-AppXPackage *Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}"
   

What you can still do to help me with this:

1. Report this bug to Microsoft. I have no Feedback Hub (pressing Win + F does nothing). There needs to be other channels of communications with the developers.
   
2. Tell me if the above command is all that would be needed to reinstall the game bar, or if there are other prerequisites I still need to install.
   
3. Tell me if there is any way to disable these autorun links. Disabling the "XBOX-TCUI" link may fix this issue, but the Default Apps configurator is not full featured and does not allow making an app NOT default.
   

 

Weird Search Bar Bug

So basically when I opened up my windows, I was opening discord in the search bar when I was greeted with this







So I searched it up and there were only 3 results and none of them worked. I tried deleting and reloading the icon cache it didn't work, I restarted, I shut down and turn on, none of them worked. Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

 

Weird Search Bar Bug

I ran across a post that recommends Hitting "CTRL+R" when in Discord to reset and refresh the GUI. Give it a try.
