Hi folks,

I absolutely can't stand the gamebar. I have never enabled it and have made sure to disable what I can. Yet, by some magic keyboard combination is starts a "streaming" video recording session or something. How the ... can I make it leave me alone.

Thanks.

MS made gamebar as a system component in 24H2, but you can disable it's related services, like xbox.
