Disabling the Windows 10 gamebar for a specific application

In some conditions, the Windows 10 game panel opens with my application (made with Delphi, VCL). This is not a game, and I do not directly use DirectX or OpenGL, but it opens.

To be specific, when I pin down the tray of my application and the pop-up window opens, the game panel appears.

I found several sites with a tutorial for completely disabling the Windows 10 game panel (for example, this ), but I want to disable it for my application only, I do not think that users will be glad that the windows function is disabled by disabling my application.

Is it possible? I can not find documentation about this

You can disable it after this solution: Press Win + G, click the Gear icon (Settings) and uncheck the box “Remember that this is a game” ( https://superuser.com/questions/1086248/windows-10-xbox-dvr- app-thinks-chrome-is-a-game ).

Please note that if the application name is Main.exe, this check box is not displayed. If the application name is main.exe or something else, it is visible.

It seems to be stored in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ System \ GameConfigStore \ in the "Children and Parents" directories. You can find your application using the ExeParentDirectory key. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/3fbu0x/win_10_game_bardvr_anyone_having_issues/

I don't know if this refers to an executable where Windows decides that it is a game (e.g. Main.exe)
