    "We have free stuff" pops up over 4 times within first hour of playing


    Same issue listed here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/we-have-free-stuff-keeps-popping-up/4b03ddea-140b-4086-8e88-6c21c56e089b

    This has popped up 4 times in the last hour. With Game Bar disabled and all Notifications turned off and Do not Disturb set to on. It is happening on two machines and both started today. Wanting me to launch the game bar implies it is a Microsoft "feature" to me.

    On my other machine it was in the notification history and gave me the option to disable Game Bar notifications. I did that, but it still popped up again a few minutes later.

    Been through notifications and ensured "notify me for reward points" is disabled within game bar notification settings

    :)

    This is an interesting topic of yours and I will be happy to provide you with further assistance. In order for us to better understand the problem, I would like to ask a few questions:

    • What are the changes made to the account prior of having the issue?
    You mentioned that you already applied all the steps to possibly block the notification but the issue persists. In this case, I will highly recommend sending a feedback to the Xbox developer so that they will be aware about this issue since you are not the only users encountered this issue. It would be beneficial for the improvement and development of the product. You may follow the steps below.

    • Navigate to the settings of Xbox Game Bar application and look for Send for feedback.
    • Select “Feedback” in the drop-down menu
    • Select “Report a problem”
    • Click Give new feedback
    • Add [Xbox Forum] in “Summarize your feedback” followed by a feedback summary
      • Summary should be descriptive and fully detailing the error you are receiving. Links redirecting to this forum post will not be accepted and will cause a delay in your feedback submission.
    • Category should automatically be selected.
    • In the "add more details" category, you will have the option to "Recreate my problem". Recreating the problem will help us further pinpoint the error you are receiving.
    • Once complete, post the title of the bug report along with the submission date in this thread
    Hope you understand.

    We have free stuff keeps popping up

    This reply is rubbish. I have only started receiving the above pop up recently, after managing to mute the music in Solitaire coincidently. All I want to do is mute the chime. It frightens the life out of me when I am listening to music.
