Properly uninstalling xbox gamebar and resolve ms-gaming-overlay-link popup on windows 11
# To uninstall it open a powershell as administrator and uninstall it with the following command:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR /f /t REG_DWORD /v "AppCaptureEnabled" /d 0
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore /f /t REG_DWORD /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /d 0
# This disables the game recorder software which seems to still think that the gaming overlay is still present.
