Xbox Game Bar now has a full-blown Task Manager widget on Windows 10

Ever get random FPS drops or stuttering while gaming in full screen? With this latest update to the Windows 10 Xbox Game Bar, you can now monitor and even kill processes without leaving your game.

Good idea.

Needs some work for controller mode. If I hit the Xbox button to open this I have to go back to my pc to click back into the game. Otherwise it just goes back to the game in a frozen looking state. Enjoying playing Disgaea 4 on pc gamepass regardless.

I read game mode can ironically hinder game performance.

I read windows runs games good with proper config

And game mode still turned on :3 ?

Sounds good. Might enable it again soon

Here’s a new process... to kill other processes!

Game bar used to have an optimised mode where basically it would prioritize resources for the game.
You would just need to activate it but now it's gone I wonder why?
Also Razer offer a apps call Razer Cortex that basically free some memory by shutting down temporary some process.

In the end I do like the Xbox game bar but I hope that MS simplify the process on Windows 10 because I think I have several Windows app related to Xbox (Xbox companion, Xbox, gamebar, etc.)

Yea and it's usually caused by some Windows process that's not working right...
