Every time the game starts this message shows up saying "We can't open this 'ms-gamingoverlay" link" and "Your device needs a new app to open this link"

I've uninstalled the Xbox gaming bar using the PowerShell command and have Xbox game bar, game mode and captures all OFF in settings.

You need to have the Game Bar app installed to avoid this error

I exported the registry edit to a file to make it easier and I wonder why people dont just do that instead of making a 5 minute youtube vid to do the same thing etc.
