Hello Alexey Alyoshko,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

You can use the Registry Editor to remove the Xbox Game Bar Keyboard Shortcuts without adding your own. Here are the steps:



Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type regedit and click OK to open the Registry Editor.

3. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR

4. Right-click on the GameDVR key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

5. Name the new value AllowGameBarShortcutKeysDisabled and set its value data to 1.

6. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.

This should disable the Xbox Game Bar Keyboard Shortcuts completely. However, be careful when editing the registry, as any mistake can cause serious problems for your system. Make sure you back up your registry before making any changes.
