Xbox game bar notifications not popping up while gaming

Hey have not responded to this and due to person reasons, I decided to come back I booted up my computer and I saw a Xbox game bar notification and I did windows key + G and game bar pops up, I dont know how it happened, it just did.

Thank you for your help.

This has been happening to me since I tried using game bar. It seems the game bar layer or pop up or whatever is just not HDR. If any piece of the game bar is open or pinned or pop notifications it causes my game screen to go out of HDR mode. I actually
like the game bar, would use all the time if just this would be corrected. & please add GPU temps & fix/turn on mixer broadcasting...

There are already options available that block notifications from popping up on the screen while playing games or watching videos. They are located on the preference tab on the Xbox guide menu.

It supports messages. It supports person-to-person messages, one-on-one chat. What it doesn't support is Group Messaging, which is what the Game Bar is for. The problem isn't with the Console Companion or Game Bar, it's with how the messages are being sent
through the Notifications app (in the lower right hand corner of any PC) and how message notifications are endlessly repeating, both in the Notifications window, and the pop-ups that slide in from the right side of the screen.

As irritating as the notifications are it's not practical to turn off all notifications because I do use them regularly for party invites and similar, the only notifications I have enabled are ones I want to receive but unfortunately the game point ones aren't separate.

I've not tested extensively but the notifications seem to pop up far more often when I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 with up to eight of them in one evening while playing FH5. Tonight I was playing a game from the Epic Games Store for around an hour with no notifications but within five minutes of playing FH5 I received a game point notification although that was the only one tonight in a couple of hours.

The game point notifications appear to be generated by the game bar, it pops up on the same side of the screen the same format as an Xbox Party Invite and when opening the game bar the notification can be seen there as well as you can see here:





I checked the Xbox PC app and it only had a notification about Halo Infinite.

The notifications were appearing on the mobile app the same time as the desktop PC so the night I got eight on the PC there was another eight on the mobile as well which is what prompted me to look for solutions. However the mobile app has a specific notification setting for rewards point notifications and since turning it off, I've received none of these notifications on my phone although it hasn't stopped the PC notifications.
