## :material-gamepad: FSO and Game Bar

!!! note "This doesn't fully disable Game Bar"
The script included in Atlas to disable Game Bar only turns off support for Game Bar, meaning that games might not use a display mode that supports Game Bar, and it might run in the background less, if at all. However, Game Bar will still be accessible with ++win+g++.

There's no known method to fully disable Game Bar except for uninstalling it, which isn't officially supported and is known to cause issues.

!!! warning "Performance issues"
Disabling support for Game Bar on modern AMD CPUs could cause [performance problems](https://www.neowin.net/news/microsofts-xbox-game-bar-boosts-windows-11-and-10-gaming-performance-on-amd-ryzen-7950x3d/).

Game Bar is a built-in feature in Windows that can record your screen, take screenshots, show performance information, and more. It relies on [Fullscreen Optimizations](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/demystifying-full-screen-optimizations/), which is shortened to FSO.

Atlas enables both Game Bar and FSO support by default. However, if you want to use [Fullscreen Exclusive](https://wiki.special-k.info/en/SwapChain) instead, run `Disable FSO & Game Bar Support.reg`, which should allow you to use Fullscreen Exclusive in supported games. Remember that specific games might still require the **Disable full-screen optimizations** compatibility option.
