How to disable XBOX game bar?

Question

For starters, no, I can't seem to find a switch that everyone else seems to be instructing me to find. They seem to cease to exist exclusively for me, I've tried reinstalling windows and got no luck, and when I try to forcefully uninstall it, I always get an ms gaming overlay error when starting up a game. So how do I actually disable XBOX game bar?

2. Open this key path in Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR

Double click on the AppCaptureEnabled DWORD and open Edit DWORD.

Edit DWORD Delete the 1 in the value data frame and replace it with a 0.

3. Click the OK button and exit Edit DWORD.

Open this key path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore

Disable Game DVR Double-click the GameDVR_Enabled DWORD.

Clear the current value and enter 0 in the Value data box.

4. Select the OK option to confirm.

Restart the computer.

You can uninstall Game Bar for deactivation.

1. Open Windows Terminal (Admin), and select Windows PowerShell.

2 Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -PackageTypeFilter Bundle -Name "*Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay*" | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

3 When finished, you can close Windows Terminal if you like.
