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...

You can reinstall the Xbox Game Bar and its overlay using a simple PowerShell command. Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode
If that doesn’t work, you can reinstall the full Game Bar with:
winget install Microsoft.XboxGameBar

Does anyone know how to get the Game bar for Windows 10 LTSC? I've been trying your methods but that doesn't seem to work.
