Disable Xbox Game Bar Pop-Up

Hi alli_mi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

You can manage this by simply launching your Xbox Game Bar (Press Windows Key + G) and then go to settings which you will see on the widget lastly go to the Notifications tab so you can manage this.

Use these simple steps to disable the xbox game bar in Windows 10.

disable through Settings App.

1. Press Win + I or use other ways to open Windows Settings.
2. Locate and select Gaming.
3. Make sure Game bar is selected in the left panel.
4. Find Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar in the right panel.
5. Click the switch under it to turn it Off.

I hope this helps.

As stated, I have it all disabled in settings. Still pops up for games.

The problem is, Windows 10 has identified chrome as a game window. Perhaps you once used it to record your screen or hit the windows key+G accidentally while in chrome.

To disable the game bar completely, you can go to Settings > Gaming > Game Bar and click the toggle that says "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using game bar" to disable it.

To disable it from popping up in chrome whilst leaving it activated for other games/apps, you can hit the windows key+G and in the overlay the appears, click the cogwheel and then uncheck the box that says "Remember this as a game"

Furthermore, if you want to stop the xbox app from running at all, you can sign out of the app and it will not load up in the background.

Hope this helps!

I have a hard time believing you turned it off from recording clips and it stills shows up in game, I’ve yet to be able to replicate this while as I test this. Are you running the latest version of Windows?

Hi there Gavuscus ,

What is happening is that your pop-up blocker/firewall is blocking the pop up chat windows from opening, what you will need to do here is disable your pop-up blocker to allow these windows to open. Usually if this is the case on the URL bar on the right
it will come up saying "pop-up blocked" when you try to open it, just click this and it should give you an option to stop the pop up blocker working on that page. Hope this helps
