STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I launch Dolphin
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Every time I launch Dolphin I get a Windows pop-up saying that I will 'need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay link'. The pop-up disappears when I click anywhere on the screen, and then Dolphin works as expected. 

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no pop-up.

From my understanding, the pop-up occurs when Windows Game Bar is activated for a Windows application, however Game Bar itself has been uninstalled. This is a Windows feature, so it's not related to Dolphin.
Game Bar can be disabled in Settings.

I just switched off Xbox Game Bar in Windows settings and the popup stopped appearing. This is not an issue for me any more but it is still an issue for Dolphin. Dolphin does something that in certain circumstances unnecessarily triggers that unnecessary Windows error message which I had never seen before. It is even more confusing when the system is like mine, never used for gaming.
