How can I stop game bar pop-up notification?
This pop-up appears when I am playing games. Don't know how to turn it off. Thank you very much in advance
You can turn off this Game Bar notification by disabling background recording or the Game Bar itself.
Try the following steps:
Option 1: Turn off Game Bar entirely
1. Go to Settings > Gaming > Game Bar
2. Toggle “Open Xbox Game Bar using this button on a controller” to Off
3. Optionally, uncheck “Remember this as a game” if you’ve marked the game window as such before
Option 2: Disable background recording
1. Go to Settings > Gaming > Captures
2. Toggle “Record what happened” to Off
(This disables background recording and removes that popup)
Option 3: Hide notifications
1. Go to Settings > System > Notifications
2. Scroll to Xbox Game Bar and turn Off notifications specifically for it
