Windows 10: Xbox Game Bar Opens Then Closes Immediately

Hello I'm on AMD 7700x processor running Windows 11 22H2 os build 22623.1037. Im also using Steam program to play Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2. No matter any of the fixes I've found on the internet, powershell install/uninstall, reg edits, repair, reset, etc, my problem persists. I can get it working after a reboot but in a short time it will malfunction in various ways. The most common error being opening and then crashing within 2 seconds. I've reinstalled Windows like 20 times at this point to try fresh installs. But no matter what I can not fix this and I'm losing my mind.

How to switch Windows Xbox Game Bar between primary and secondary screen

I found a workaround. I think it is a bug limited to the Taskbar and Xbox Gamebar.

Gamebar doesn't support switching between screens so you have to close and open it.

However the problem is clicking on the taskbar Start button, search or select gamebar doesn't open gamebar on the screen you have entered the search or selected the program. This is a bug.

The workaround for this bug:
Gamebar must not be open or visible on your screen. If it is then close it.

1. Decide which screen you wish to open XBox Gamebar.
   On that screen right click on a blank part of that screen's taskbar and select taskbar settings. This opens the setting window. Close that settings window.
   
2. This time on the same screen taskbar when you select Game Bar from the start button or search for it from the start Start button by typing "Game" or clicking the filtered icons it will open XBox Game bar on that screen.
