How Does Windows 10 Know I'm Playing A MAME Game?

I just a got new Windows 10 PC (upgrading from an older Windows 7 machine) and tried out some MAME games for the first time. Somehow, Windows 10 realized I was playing a game and gave me these automated notification pop-ups from something called XBox Game Bar to record the game or capture a screenshot.

So the question here is, if I'm using MAME and not an XBox, how did Windows 10 know I was playing any kind of a video game? Is Windows 10 somehow programmed to know what MAME is?
