Created attachment 159098 [details] Screenshot of error pop-up SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** 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. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 64bit macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
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.
