new Game bar version freezes PC & doesn't show icons on the volume widget, version...

I'm on the Beta Build. I use my PC to play games while I listen to music & talk with my friends, it's very difficult to do that in the new Game bar version mainly because of 2 issues:

It freezes my PC for 70 seconds if I press Win + G. I can still press the Windows key and see that the windows menu opens in the background, behind the game bar, but I can't do anything until the app "finishes loading". This never happened to me before and I have 4 months in the Beta Build. After it finishes loading, it works normally, but the problem is that the same issue occurs if you try to open the game bar again after 30 minutes or so, making it very difficult to talk to Xbox Console friends or to check Xbox Achievements from the Game Bar.

The 2nd issue I have is that in the previous version when I pressed Win + G, the game bar opened & I had a widget where I could lower the volume of each application individually, kinda like a volume mixer. Each application had its icon. E.G. Xbox had that green logo, Discord had its logo, etc. This is not the case anymore as it only shows the specific name of the apps like in the task manager. Is this some sort of bug that's preventing me to see icons? If this is intended now users won't be able to quickly glance while they scroll to lower the volume of an app at the same time they talk to their friends or are playing a game. This gets even more difficult when you have volume widget filled of apps with unrecognizable names, like games running on Vulkan or apps like nvcontainer, etc. How can I get the icons back?
