"can't open ms-gaming overlay link"

This worked for me.

As per

https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHelp/comments/108ngxr/properly_uninstalling_xbox_gamebar_and_resolve/: 

To uninstall [GameBar] open a powershell as administrator and uninstall it with the following command:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

However this left me with a nagging popup upon game start:

you'll need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay-link

To resolve this you can also use the powershell to edit the registry like this:

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR /f /t REG_DWORD /v "AppCaptureEnabled" /d 0 reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore /f /t REG_DWORD /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /d 0

This disables the game recorder software which seems to still think that the gaming overlay is still present.

Hi John,

As mentioned, I already had disabled the XBox Game Bar, which I'm not using anyways.

Well, as a matter of fact it was already disabled to begin with, so I also tried enabling it and disabling it back, to no avail.

And I also had already turned off recording, before writing here. All these suggestions are already out there in other answers, and I tried all I could find, nothing helped.

Same problem here, Win + G doesn't open the Game bar anymore:

Do you use the Xbox Game Bar app?

Open Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar

Turn Off the toggle next to the ‘Open Xbox Game Bar using this button on a controller’ option.

Open Settings > Gaming > Captures

Turn off "Record what happened"

Press Start then search Xbox Game Bar

Right click it then select App settings

Under Background apps permissions, select Never in the drop-down list

Restart your computer

Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

Kind regards,
