Disable TouchBar While in Boot Camp.

On my MacBook Pro 2020 (Intel) I set up a BootCamp partition for Windows 10 to play the odd game that isn't available on MacOS & want to know if there is anyway of disabling the Touch Bar. I've heard about issues of screen burn-in on the Touch Bar and want to avoid this.


On macOS, it seems to automatically turn off the Touch Bar when I open an application that doesn't need it. The settings I have on Mac OS are below.


I have looked all around the internet for answers to this question but can't seem to find any. I have tried removing the Touch Bar from device manager within Windows 10 but it doesn't seem to work.


If anyone can find the solution, I would be incredibly grateful as I really am stuck with this one.


Many Thanks

Alex.

Make it as dim as possible.

The Windows driver does not support the same features as the macOS driver.
