Subject: [PATCH] Disable Gamebar Presence Writer (#202)

* Fixed GameDVR Code

Registry values were not changing after applying GameDVR tweaks.
Because all the registry tweaks were under if condition in the code.
Modified that and now working properly.

* Diable Gamebar Presence Writer

Gamebar Presence Writer causes stutter in games, while running in
background.
Deactivated the trigger of Gamebar Presence Writer to resolve this.
