Anyone know how to enable xbox game bar to run in the background on windows 11?

Hey when I go to the app settings, apps and features is not there.

Same here, its been doing my head in for weeks, the moment i dont focus game bar i lose my mic in chat, only way ive managed to play is by pinning the chat which isnt great as it then covers part of the screen.

Hi Taylor M, my name is Adam.

To enable Xbox Game Bar to run in the background on Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Settings and click on Gaming.

2. Click on Xbox Game Bar and turn on the option to Open Xbox Game Bar using a keyboard shortcut.

3. Go back to Apps and select Apps & features.

4. Search for Xbox Game Bar and select Advanced options.

5. Make sure the Background app permissions are turned on.

If the app is still not working, try repairing or resetting it. You can also press Windows + G to open Xbox Game Bar.

I hope this helps!
Adam.

so far my fix has been to pin the party, that way it stays open and my mic doesn't cut out. but it's annoying to have to pin it again every time it decides to unpin itself after a restart.

when this happens i repair and reset the app until the app doesnt show the bell and yellow triangle and it works until they fix it.
