    Can we raise awareness so that they let us downgrade game bar versions?


    Im currently faced with an issue regarding Xbox Game Bar on PC and that problem is that I can no longer change accounts on it with the new update by just looking at how it works you can only change accounts in game bar if u set that different account on the Microsoft Store manually instead of being just clicks away in what already was a feature from game bar in the first place. Im all about updates aslong as it implements and improves whats already in it but this is just awfull, if im the only one getting this issue pls tell me but honestly every change they make to the xbox app I always go back to an older version bcs thats how bad their new "improvements" are, I just happen to feel that maybe game bar updates won´t be as bad so a clicked thinking that everything is gonna be fine but nope now im just stuck with an inferior version of an app that I used every day with no way of downgrading just because.

    Feel free to share any solutions if this is just a me problem

    :)

    Gamebar is still broken for PC

    Hello GriffYall,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It appears that your concern is related to Xbox Game bar functionalities which was changed after the updated Windows version released. Let us see on what we can do to help address your concern in a timely manner.

    We are aware of this issue and we highly encourage to report this problem using the Feedback hub for Windows. See: Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support This will help Team Xbox investigate and fix problems on the Xbox app dependencies in Windows. This improves the gaming experience for you and everyone else in the community.

    For the meantime, you can try the temporary workaround in which some users find it helpful. Here is the workaround: in Game Bar you can pin the party chat so that it stays active when the Game Bar overlay disappears. Click the pin icon on the party chat widget.

    MIke Seamons head of xbox video confirmed the issue to a few of us, but there is no public statement about the system-wide bug. The best we can do is raise awareness, i've submitted the news to eurogamer to see if we can get some traction.
