I hope a solution for this occurs. I've been dealing with this pop-up as well, which is annoying.

Maybe removing those files might help because every time you open a game "gamebarpresencewriter.exe" opens automatically

This happens with other things to on this build -- New install -- try going into security dashboard etc. Seems not to be a problem if you update to this build though.

Why can't Microsoft just build an OS with nothing added and let people install apps IF they need them? When I become King....

At last, I found a registry hack that fix the problem for me.

Here is the site: https://thegeekpage.com/youll-need-a-new-app-to-open-this-ms-gaming/

Method 3: Disable Key Binding Through Windows Registry Editor


Also, in my System Settings --> Gaming, I had previously turned off everything. I also, following a YouTube video, had uninstall 'stuff' dealing with xBox, using PowerShell. After these action is when I started getting the little pop up box. But now no pop up box.

Let me know if this works for you @Od1sseas
