This is what Chat GPT said: (it depends what you plan to do I guess)

In the Steam Deck's BIOS, ALR stands for "Automatic Lock Release." It refers to a security feature that unlocks certain locked-down functionalities automatically under specific conditions, often related to hardware debugging or recovery scenarios.

For instance, enabling ALR can allow access to normally restricted areas of the firmware to assist in troubleshooting or for developers to access more advanced options. This is typical in BIOS or firmware settings where locked configurations need to be bypassed in controlled environments.

Don't thank me, thank ChatGPT. I just ask ChatGPT everything these days, it never fails me. Sometimes, I have to re-word it, but yeah.

Ask it how to totally anhihilate (that's the work) the GameBar popup that says:

ms can't open this ms gamebar link popup

I found and it's finally my happyest day in days :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ms-gamebar]
@="URL:ms-gamebar"
"NoOpenWith"=""
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ms-gamebar\shell\open\command]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ms-gamebarservices]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ms-gamebarservices\shell\open\command]

I'd be careful with that. Now, Google search started to give AI-generated answers on top of its website links, most of which are fine, but some are just as much BS as the low-quality clickbait sites it got the info from.
