Hi, i want to point out that some people use it and have no issues. I have a beasty rig and never encountered stutters currently. On my prior rig that was not beastly but snaily it didn't stutter either. Those who have computers and play games regardless of "Budget" pc or not should try to make their stuffs all from the same manufacturer and make sure they have all the correct software installed such as drivers as those tell the device what to do. Secondly, even with all that happening, most people treat their computers like crap and really just too much 3rd party crap that isn't games and causes major conflicts. i can go on for days about people who have epic rigs and have issues or "Compatibility" issues playing this.

You are correct. My apologies. But I killed it in task manager and it really had no discernible effect on my gameplay, so YMMV.

I would still be wary using third party apps to uninstall Microsoft software components from your computer.

Can't uninstall Xbox Game Bar that way.

After reading this thread, I downloaded O&O Appbuster (a companion to O&O Shutup10) to rid myself of MS Gamebar ... And the microstutter I had noticed in Minecraft Bedrock for months is GONE!

I wasn't using this MS app, so I'm happy to be rid of it.

Start Menu - Settings - Apps - Apps and Features - click on the offending app - Uninstall.

No additional app needed that does the devil knows what to your computer (probably inserting malware).

So I just turn it off in settings and it's done?

Yes. Unless you like mac

Huh. Well, if that's improves folks' experience,

OK stupid GameBar disabled. Hope it works. And thanks for alerting me to more Microsoft BLOAT.
