I've been having a few problems with windows game bar, specifically on games. The first is OSU! and the second is Minecraft. Windows Game Bar keeps stealing focus from these apps and sending me to desktop. I used Windows Focus Logger to pinpoint the offending app.

The second issue I have is that it pops under in the background of OSU! and if I mouse over the area on the right hand side of the screen where it pops under, my cursor changes from the in-game cursor to the normal windows one and appears far from where I need to select a song.

My question is if there's a way to prevent the game bar from doing these things. I would still like to have it because I use it in games like Forza and Outer Worlds, so disabling it is not an option.
