Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

When playing games—especially with a controller, in my laptop, adjusting G-Helper settings requires me to press the hotkey which is weird when it could be easily done with a controller.

I wish controller-only(when playing games especially in Xbox FSE) users have a seamless way to switch power profiles (Silent, Balanced, Turbo), adjust GPU modes, or tweak refresh rates on the fly without reaching for a mouse or keyboard. Since Xbox FSE is official now and people are starting to use it in their devices I figured we could have GHelper integrated into gamebar.

Describe the solution you'd like

An official, lightweight G-Helper Widget for Xbox Game Bar built using the Xbox Game Bar SDK, with full support for Compact Mode and controller navigation. The UI could be the same as the vanilla Ghelper just with controller navigation and integrated into gamebar to adjust power modes on the go. Also I could see the CPU/GPU temperatures, fan RPM at a glance whenever gamebar with Ghelper pops up.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Winhanced HUD already integrate a native Xbox Game Bar HUD widget that lets users adjust performance settings and device controls on the fly using a controller. Having a similar lightweight widget in G-Helper would make it the complete, go-to solution for laptop and handheld gamers alike.
