July 3, 2025 - PC Gaming Preview - Xbox App [2507.1000.40.0] & Game Bar for Windows...

I think game streaming is going to arrive with the July update because Windows 10 is being released on July 29. I definitely think it's going to be announced at E3. Plus, using the Xbox app on the Windows 10 Tech Preview there is a test streaming tab within
the app so that could be a good indication as well.

Let's try the following procedures:

1. Repair the Xbox Game Bar

- Press Start and enter game bar to display the app, then choose App Settings.

- Check the app settings of the Xbox Game Bar

- Look for "Repair" and click the button.

- Wait while the Xbox Game Bar is repaired by Windows.

2. Reset the Xbox Game Bar

- Press Start and enter game bar to display the app, then choose App Settings.

- Check the app settings of the Xbox Game Bar

- Look for "Reset" and click the button.

- Wait while the app is reset, then try using it again.

3. Reinstall Xbox Game Bar

- Begin by right-clicking "Start" then select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

- Next, copy and paste this command:

Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

The Game Bar will be removed from Windows.

Restart your computer to complete the action.

With the system back up, open the Windows Store and reinstall Xbox Game Bar:

If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool.

Using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

Hi,

You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
tap G on the keyboard.

Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
Xbox button.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.
