    How to close or exit the Xbox Game Bar?


    When you play a game on windows 10 and want to stream or record a video using the Xbox Game Bar, you launch it by pressing [windows] + [G], but when you're done and exit the game, how do you close or exit the Game Bar and stop it from keep running on the
    Desktop or in the background?

    You just need to press [windows] + [G] to close the game bar.

    keep in mind that if you use the method mentioned by Tezzarrific you will need to then toggle
    it back on to use it again.

    NEW DASHBOARD UPDATE BROKE THE APPS SEARCH! ALSO TURNED ON CLOSED CAPTIONING IN CONOLE OPTIONS!

    Try opening a video in the YouTube app. Bring up the video controls and select the CC button on the far right of the control bar... Turn Off the closed captions in that menu. Exit the YouTube app.

    That fixed it for me with the same issue in NHL Gamecenter on an Aussie Xbox.
