There are youtube videos such as this

that show how to disable Game Bar from the windows game bar settings, group policy editor or via the registry editor. This seems to be known to cause frame rate performance drops under Windows 10 and has to be disabled manually every time you freshly install Windows 10.
However, the problem is that GameBarPresenceWriter.exe still runs in the background when launching certain games despite disabling Game Bar.
Anyway, the question I want to know is whether this GameBarPresenceWriter.exe has any impact on frame rate? Assuming it is only innocently running in the background in Task Manager and is only taking 700KB in RAM. This is a process that does not exist in Windows 7 or 8.1 and is Windows 10 exclusive and seems to run silently in the background when launching certain games that seem to be Game Bar DVR supported.
I don't understand why this still runs despite disabling Game Bar. But anyway, if it isn't actually doing any harm that would be fine. But I am confused because someone on the Left 4 Dead 2 Steam forum said that manually ending this task process after minimizing their game normalized game performance. Now of-course this depends on whether they really disabled Game Bar using this method outlined in this video. If disabling Game Bar using this method solves the problem so that even if GameBarPresenceWriter.exe runs in the background I won't be too worried.
But I need clarity on this. Can anyone confirm that this process is completely innocent of producing performance drops in games even after disabling Game Bar DVR?
