the Start Button available on the bottom left section of your screen and
right click on it.

“Record in the background while I’m playing a game” switch to disable Game
DVR.

wish to disable Xbox game monitoring, the process is a bit complex. Xbox Game
Monitoring is helpful for gamers as it can monitor the game that you play. But,

like Steam. The disabling process is complicated because you need to go into
the Registry. Hence, back up the registry files before starting the disabling
process. Follow this process for disabling Xbox Game Monitoring:
- Hit the Windows
Key and R button and enter “regedit.” After that, hit the Enter button.
- You will see the
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” option on the screen, double-click on it.
- Then,
double-click on the “SYSTEM” option.
- Move forward by
double-clicking “CurrentControlSet” and then “Services.”
- Click on xbgm
and find the “Start REG_DWORD” option on the screen. It is destined to be the right section of the window. Once you find it, right click over there
and click the Modify option.
- End the process
by changing the default value to 4 from 3 and click the OK option.
In this
way, Xbox Game Monitoring Service will be disabled. To turn it on again, change
the 4 back to the 3.
