You can stop Game bar from opening when the "Xbox/Guide" button is pressed in Windows Settings. Press the Start button, select Settings > Gaming > Game bar, and then clear the Open Game bar using this button on a controller: checkbox.

Thanks for describing the fix! We used to intercept the guide button, but it used a private Microsoft API and might have been causing crashes on Windows 10. Once disabled, does the guide button actually work in Kodi? If so I'll add your fix to our wiki.

Hi. The Guide button doesn't work in Kodi at the moment. Is there a chance to fix this? I'm pretty sure it used to work before. The Guide button does work in Steam, it can start the Game Bar if the setting is enabled, Firefox supports it too, online tests (like this one https://gamepad-tester.com/) detects the Guide button as #16.
