Controller Bar in Windows 11 Gamebar is gone in Feb 3 update 5.823.1271.0

the share button on xbox controllers will only work in windows 11 for gamebar. this has been purposely done.

yeah it's the same with me, 300 down 50 up on an average day, latest version of gamebar and windows 11 23H3, latest version of Xbox app with no corrupt drivers, hard drives, my audio device and headset are working just fine on literally any other platform except gamebar/Xbox app. maybe it's a botched windows update that broke the software in gamebar?

gamebar is part of the OS, your microsoft account is also the xbox account, they are seamless, gamebar is always running and signed in when you are signed in on the laptop or pc. if you disable gamebar in the setting it will re activate when a feature update is installed. this is normal.

it will be even more integrated with windows 11 including gamepass. it uses practically zero resources .



don't forget, windows 10 is now a service that is freely available, long gone are the days of a traditional OS, you agree to the terms when signing in and using it, this includes all the gumph that comes with it.

if this is not what you want then you may need to move to linux or mac (mac is even worse)
