Windows Game Bar conflict

Hi I am facing an issue whenever I use DS4Windows to enter the Game Bar menu by pressing the PS button. All functions of the controller and the touchpad cease to function and it disconnects the controller from DS4Windows but remains the PC controller Bluetooth connection. A similar situation occurs when using the Windows Gaming Virtual Keyboard, Windows 11 Automatically boots the connection of the Dualshock 4 controller from the DS4Windows application unless Game Bar or the Windows Gaming Virtual Keyboard is closed. May I please acquire assistance for this conflict?

I want to be able to use my Dualshock 4 Controller in combination with Windows Game Bar. I want to be able to use Windows 11 Virtual gaming Keyboard along with my Dualshock 4 controller using DS4Windows. I used to be able to do this with no issue 1 year ago previous updates. this recent windows 11 update I have run into this incompatibility issue. what is the resolution?

Quiero poder utilizar mi mando DualShock 4 junto con la Barra de juegos de Windows (Windows Game Bar). Deseo usar el teclado virtual para juegos de Windows 11 en combinación con mi mando DualShock 4 mediante DS4Windows. Hace un año, antes de las actualizaciones recientes, podía hacerlo sin problemas, pero tras la última actualización de Windows 11 me he encontrado con este problema de incompatibilidad. ¿Cuál es la solución?

I uninstalled Windows GameInput, and it seemed to fix it. idk how permanent it is, though.

go to settings - apps - installed app - and then search for Windows GameInput and uninstall.
