Is it using the XAML UI framework? If so, how is it doing it outside of the Windows UWP Sandbox?Ĭuriously, the game-bar is also able to target elevated windows too. I also noticed how smooth and fluid the game-bar's animations are - quite unlike a typical Win32 window. bcastdvr.exe then invokes "C:\Windows\System32\GamePanel.exe is a 16-hex digit (8 byte) string, presumably a window handle or equivalent).īut the overlay window itself is special - it doesn't seem to be a normal hWnd - for example, I observe that my mouse cursor loses its drop-shadow and the "sonar pulse" effect (when I tap the Ctrl key to show my cursor location) stays in-place where my mouse cursor was when I opened the Game bar.


Pressing + G in Windows 10 causes the Xbox Game Bar to open - it overlays the current application, regardless of if it's a game or not (though Windows maintains its own database of games as a hint to show the bar automatically on process startup or not)
