Every time I connect my Xbox 360 controller I get this annoying popup:

1753598115000.webp

Despite having toggled off the related setting:

1753598132254.webp

It's been like this for months and I have no clue how to fix it. Microsoft's geekies also have no clue how to fix this since I asked on their forum months ago.

Try this .bat file ms-gamebar-annoyance.bat

Copy and paste it in powershell or download / save as .bat and run
it will show a dialog prompt, Yes = apply fix, No = restore
then ask for admin rights if not already on a Terminal (Admin)
it even puts the annoyance to the test

I have nothing in System Components aside from Windows Defender. This is LTSC 2024 Enterprise IoT fresh btw.

i have no experience with LTSC Enterprise versions of Windows
only the standard versions of Home and Pro.

but the Q i cant fathom is why is Xbox on a Enterprise version.

I tried what other people suggested on forums, but it didn't work:

Powershell: 
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR" -Name "AppCaptureEnabled" -Value 0 -PropertyType DWord -Force
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\System\GameConfigStore" -Name "GameDVR_Enabled" -Value 0 -PropertyType DWord -Force
