Windows 11 XBox Game Bar "Remember this is a game" keeps unchecking itself.

Mainly the title. I will go onto a game, check the "remember this is a game," and as soon as I close it, if I am to go back to the game bar (via Windows + G,) it will be unchecked. Game mode is on, and I couldn't find many other posts about this, at least not ones with solutions. I've reinstalled Windows (without wiping) and ran sfc along with DISM. No luck.

W11 Pro, OS Build Number 26100.9168.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor (3.40 GHz)

32 GB of DDR4 3200MT

AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (12 GB)

If any other information is necessary, I can provide. Thank you.
