    Does anyone know how to fix Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Bar not working?


    Whenever I try to open Microsoft Store or the Xbox Game Bar, they simply don't open. I typed in Microsoft Store in the start menu, and it's there, but the thumbnail's not as it's supposed to be. I've contacted support for this on three occasions; they updated my drivers, reinstalled Windows, and I went as far as to factory reset (with keeping files on; I have too many to want to lose). I'm unsure of what to do at this point.

    :)

    Hello
    Thanks for the additional information, in your situation I recommend instead to perform a custom Windows installation + format your drives

    If you have important files on your PC, make sure to backup them properly using an external drive or USB

    Hello there, this is Manuela!. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user willing to assist with this

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this problem with your PC
    Let's try to isolate this problem more, for this try creating a new user in your PC and see if it's possible to use the game bar and the store
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/cre...

    If the issue hasn't been solved I recommend instead to perform an in-place upgrade for your system following the steps provided in this thread
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    If you're using Windows 11 I'm going to share the steps for it (they're similar)
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    By the way, the in-place upgrade doesn't delete your files

    Hello, Manuela.

    I've created the new user, though it doesn't seem to work on that user there either. I've already performed the in-place upgrade on the previous contacts with the support staff, and it only seemed to make the issue worse.
