Title: How to get rid of the Game Bar in Windows 10

I noticed something popping up and consuming resources:

As per usual I was not asked if I wanted this garbage enabled, it just showed up one day (probably after I hooked up this XBox One controller to my PC)

The three options are:
1. Log into the app and disable it (if you have an account that is, if you don't sorry no way to turn off)
2. Hack the registry (always a good idea with Windows 10)
3. Use PowerShell to remove the XBox app altogether (A+ would remove again)

Thank you. Thank you very much. God, it would pop up every time we started Minecraft.

It was popping up on Firefox of all things, I'd see something flash and minimize, for a while I thought I had spyware or something... in a way I did I guess :/
