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.
An svchost.exe instance (which is hosting the BrokerInfrastructure, DcomLaunch, LSM, PlugPlay Power, and SystemEventsBroker services) invokes '%windir%\System32\bcastdvr.exe' -ServerName.BroadcastDVRServer.Process Explorer shows that when WinKey+G is pressed, the following happens: I wondered how this is possible - I don't have any Windows 10 Xbox App-related processes running on my computer.
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)
