Reinstalling the Microsoft Gaming Overlay
Hi! Some time ago, I uninstalled the Microsoft Gaming Overlay - I think it was the overlay used by the Xbox Game Bar (win+G to bring it up). I am trying to reinstall it, but I can't figure it out...

Hey! Yes, you can try reinstalling the Xbox Game Bar using PowerShell. Just run this command as administrator:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
If that doesn’t work, you can also try reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store. Let me know if you still see the popup!
