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...

What finally worked for me is actually a fix within the Xbox app itself.
In the Xbox app:
Open Settings -> App -> Dependencies -> Game Bar...then click install.
Dependencies is everything Xbox app needs to run properly and is highlighted in orange.
