Does anybody know how to prevent the windows 10 overlay appearing in game?

  • In game, if I scroll to the top or bottom of the screen and hold the mouse there for a couple of seconds, my windows overlay appears. It shows the red ‘x’ to close the app in the top right hand corner. I’ve accidentally closed the game twice before now and it’s really frustrating. Tonight I was mid quest, had a lot of loot, in the heat of combat I accidentally closed the game and it’s freakin’ soul destroying. I can’t find an option in game or in the xbox live app to lock the screen and prevent the overlay appearing. Is there a way to disable this or is this a fixed thing with xbox live games?

  • Might want to look at windows preferences. I don't know myself but it sounds like a windows thing, not a game-specific thing.

  • @goblinguiboune Thanks, I've searched through the settings and googled it but haven't found anything yet. It only happens in SoT which is the only game I play through the xbox live app which is why I'm assuming its game or xbox app related

  • This made me lose a fight or two...frustrating as hell!

  • @morbidss Yeah it's a nightmare :/
