    When I press Win + G or when i press the xbox button on my controller, the gamebar pops up. This is annoying because I need to use the xbox button for steam. I looked in the gpo and couldnt find anything. Also, does anyone know if you can globally turn off fullscreen optimizations in ltsc 2019 like how ltsb 2016 has it disabled.

    You may want to back up whatever the registry defaults are in case you ever want to turn it back on, but to turn it off:

    Gamebar off:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR]
    "AudioCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000000
    "AppCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore]
    "GameDVR_Enabled"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR]
    "AllowGameDVR"=dword:00000000
    
    
    Gamebar on:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR]
    "AudioCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000001
    "AppCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore]
    "GameDVR_Enabled"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR]
    "AllowGameDVR"=-
    
    
    FSO global off? If there is a way, I don't know it. I just right click the app.exe and use the compatibility tab to do it.

    Don't know then, they stayed off for me on 2016.

    This one did not exist for me, creating it is what nuked the gamebar for me.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR]
    "AllowGameDVR"=dword:00000000

    You should be able to copy/paste the text into a text file and name it GameBarOn.reg, and GamebarOff.reg (or whatever you like.reg) and just double click them like an on/off toggle.
