3 Ways to Disable Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11

Why does EVERY game bar guide spread the misinformation that the setting named “Allow your controller to open Game Bar” will disable Windows Game Bar?

It’s written CLEAR AS DAY in the description, all this setting does is disable your game controller’s XBOX-button from opening game bar (is same as pressing WinKey+G). Nothing more than that.

I absolutely promise you that you did not disable Game Bar by turning off this setting, and it’s very simple to prove that it’s still enabled! Go ahead, I dare you… turn that setting off and then press Winkey+G….. OMG! What!!?? Game Bar still opens?!

LOL yep.You cannot “disable” game bar, it must be uninstalled with powershell and then it will likely return with Windows Updates.
