Properly uninstalling xbox gamebar and resolve ms-gaming-overlay-link popup on windows 11
# To uninstall it open a powershell as administrator and uninstall it with the following command:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR /f /t REG_DWORD /v "AppCaptureEnabled" /d 0
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore /f /t REG_DWORD /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /d 0
# This disables the game recorder software which seems to still think that the gaming overlay is still present.

I didn't know about this method before. I read about another method in some article and I always used it before. But in any case, I have already stopped playing games. Lately on https://www.creepypasta.com/horror-at-horseshoe-unveiling-true-scary-stories-from-terrified-visitors/ I read about scary games, casinos and much more. I haven't had an Xbox GameBar for over a year. I just took and abruptly deleted all applications, including Steam and stopped playing.

lol ai bot scam times be like this

Do this to uninstall for all users and prevent it from installing again when creating a new user profile.
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where {$_.DisplayName -match "Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay"} | Remove-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers
