Game Bar and Xbox Companion Network bug

XtraTrstrL · Jul 20, 2019

This is what I get the first time I check Networking in the Game Bar or Xbox App settings. Then, the 2nd and each consecutive check it's fine:

If I close the Xbox App or Game Bar settings, then reopen them to check Networking again, the first check gives the issues again, and each consectutive check is fine.

I'm assuming it's a bug with either the Xbox App/Game Bar or Windows 10 in general.

Anyone else have this issue and/or know anything about what could be causing it?

I'm connected wired. I can connect to Live games on Windows 10. I just wanted to report this because it seems to be a bug, considering it always shows the first result on the initial check, and always is "Nat Type - Open" and "Connected"each consecutive
check. It's more of just an annoyance I wanted to see if there was an easy fix to get rid of. It's not a major issue though.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi XtraTrstrL

sorry to hear.

I tried if the error also appeared with me. Unfortunately, this is not the case, with me it works perfectly.

If you are only connected wirelessly so far, please test if the error occurs via RJ45 cable.

Hope this helps to find the couse of your Problem.

Game Bar and Xbox app conflict withneach other so bad. Once I installed Game Bar i had to remove Xbox App. But in the last two weeks Game Bar is working really bad. It refuses to let me join party chats. I send invites to party chat as well do not work.
I tried to go back to xbox app since i can not tolerate half working software, and now Xbox app half works. No notification comes up at all for Xbox app but Game Bar persists even when i shut it of. I wanted uninstall Game Bar but you cant.

Game Bar is cool and all but not worth it. How do i get rid of it?
