    Hi,
    The main cause of this problem is the fact that the Windows Key + G key combination is reserved for Game Bar. If you want to use the same combination for other purposes, the Game Bar needs to be disabled.
    Go into Settings -> Gaming -> Game Bar. Then turn off "record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar".
    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
    Best Regards,
    Carl

    If the cache of the Microsoft Store is larger than recommended, many issues with Windows apps including Xbox and Game bar apps may happen. Resetting the cache with a simple command can be helpful to fix your issue.

    Go to the search box and input wsreset.
    Click the result to run this command to reset the Store cache.

    1. In the Search box type regedit and click the result to open Registry Editor.
    2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR.
    3. Locate then entry called AppCaptureEnabled. If it doesn’t exist, right-click the blank area and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value to create an entry called NoWinKeys.
    4. Right-click on it to choose Modify and set its value data to 0. And ensure the Base is set to Decimal.
      1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore.
      2. Locate an entry called GameDVR_Enabled. If it isn’t here, re-create it.
      3. Set its value data to 0.
      4. Restart your PC
