Xbox game bar is the root of majority of problems I have been facing, here are some that I noticed. ( I use gamebar to talk to friends on console and not forcing them to use another app when this one should work fine)

  1. When using airpods or some kind of earbuds on xbox gamebar, it will assume you are using the mic even if you are using an external mic. I have disabled the mic, disabled handsfree telephony, etc. This bug makes audio 10x worse and probably won't be fixed.

  2. Xbox game bar does not lock your mouse in games that use it, take roblox for example, your mouse will move around the screen when its supposed to be locked in place, I deleted gamebar and it works again, surprise!

  3. Kind of related to #2 but take games that should be locking your mouse onto your monitor/ crosshair, instead, it will move your mouse off the screen or to a secondary monitor. I decided to download fortnite again and check it out, mouse would move onto another screen and mess up entirely.

These are the only ones I have noticed so far, I bet there are others. Please let me know if there are any fixes that I could try, Gamebar is the only reason this all happens, I don't want to delete, all I want is to hear game audio and also hear my friends.

If there is a way to join a party without gamebar then please lmk as well.
