Microsoft is testing a new gadget for the Xbox Game Bar in Windows 10 that allows players to close the application without leaving the game .
For those who are not familiar with Xbox Game Bar, when you press “Windows+G” on the keyboard, it will appear on games and other foreground applications. Xbox Game Bar allows users to record game videos, take screenshots, view performance indicators, and more.
Microsoft’s new Xbox Game Bar widget is an application similar to a task manager and a list of processes that occupy system resources. Like the task manager, the new “resources” widget shows the resources being used by the application or process, such as CPU, memory, hard disk or GPU. It is also marked with red, green or yellow dots. Red means that the application has a great impact on the system, while green is the least impact.
The resource widget includes the “X” button next to each application and process. If it affects your game, you can use the “X” to close it. However, resource widgets do not always distinguish between safely closed applications or important Windows system tasks. Therefore, be careful to turn off anything you don’t know what it does.
Naijatechnews understands that since Microsoft is still testing the new widget, you need to use the Xbox Insider Hub to get the latest Xbox Game Bar for Insiders update to try the widget.
