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...

Hi,
To reinstall Microsoft Gaming Overlay, open PowerShell as administrator and run this command:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "\$($\_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
If this doesn’t work, download Xbox Game Bar from Microsoft Store and install it.
Hope this helps!
