Unfortunately, some games suffer from sporadic but severe FPS drops when the bar is enabled. To turn off the game bar, open up [[Microsoft Windows#Registry Editor|regedit]] and enter a DWORD 32-bit at <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR\AppCaptureEnabled</code> with value <code>0</code>
