This window keep popping up when I launch games. But I have Game Mode disabled in Windows. How can I disable this and everything surrounding the settings in Windows pertaining gaming?

You should leave Game Mode On as Default whether you do games or not.
You can lookup the reasons why from a reputable source.

Go down your All Apps list to "Game Bar system" part of Windows system now, Right click > Repair or Reset, it's related to the error.
Also keep Xbox App Updated also related.

Screen Recording and the like is also related, it is not just about gaming as some seem to think.

It is all in Windows/Game Bar/Xbox settings, no need for any registry edits.
