How to Reinstall Deleted Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10 [ Tutorial]

The Xbox Game Bar, successor to Game DVR, was first introduced to Windows 10 in 2016. Until recently, it hasn’t been particularly useful to gamers, but in the past year or two, it has netted Spotify integration, performance stats, a volume mixer, and third-party offerings. Unfortunately, though, these additions have come with a cost: Microsoft has now disabled the option to remove Xbox Game Bar via the programs menu and Windows 10 settings.

I hate this POS and yet it will drive you bananas with its popup constantly. I refuse to use a MS account and thus the MS store so I guess I will be dealing with the ****king popup forever.
