The app itself still exists, and can be launched in Start with "Xbox Game Bar" app manually.
I suspect this setting - which always turns itself off once you re-navigate to the page is the issue.
So likely the DVR disable is also preventing the hotkeys for gamebar, despite gamebar still being installed. Win+G also does not work.
I've confirmed this is the issue.
I reverted the following:
"WPFEssTweaksDVR": {
"registry": [
{
"Path": "HKCU:\\System\\GameConfigStore",
"Name": "GameDVR_FSEBehavior",
"Value": "2",
"OriginalValue": "1",
"Type": "DWord"
},
{
"Path": "HKCU:\\System\\GameConfigStore",
"Name": "GameDVR_Enabled",
"Value": "0",
"OriginalValue": "1",
"Type": "DWord"
},
{
"Path": "HKCU:\\System\\GameConfigStore",
"Name": "GameDVR_DXGIHonorFSEWindowsCompatible",
"Value": "1",
"OriginalValue": "0",
"Type": "DWord"
},
{
"Path": "HKCU:\\System\\GameConfigStore",
"Name": "GameDVR_HonorUserFSEBehaviorMode",
"Value": "1",
"OriginalValue": "0",
"Type": "DWord"
},
{
"Path": "HKCU:\\System\\GameConfigStore",
"Name": "GameDVR_EFSEFeatureFlags",
"Value": "0",
"OriginalValue": "1",
"Type": "DWord"
},
{
"Path": "HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\GameDVR",
"Name": "AllowGameDVR",
"Value": "0",
"OriginalValue": "1",
"Type": "DWord"
}
]
},
Revert above RegKeys to the OriginalValue. Reboot PC. After I go to settings and turn on Xbox Game Bar.
Now the hotkeys work as expected.
I will check next if we can keep everything disabled except the HKLM value.
Update:
I have confirmed only:
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR" -Name "AllowGameDVR" -Type DWord -Value 0
Is necessary to change back to '1'. The rest can be kept. This enabled Xbox Game Bar but prevents captures, which is likely the intended use case.
