Game Bar broken after resetting through advance options from Apps & features

Why would Microsoft even allow this to happen if it just breaks the app? I can no longer use it after resetting. Now every time I do W+G it says "You'll need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay".

I tried reinstalling Game Bar through the Window Store but it says it cannot be installed! I have tried looking up this issue and tried reinstalling the Xbox App. Nothing works! How do I bring this up to Microsoft and get a fix? I swear Windows 10 just breaks
everything!

Hello there,

We understand that you're experiencing an issue involving the use of the Game Bar for recording gameplay on your Windows PC.

You stated within your post that this concerns a reset option within the advanced settings, and we would like to confirm which settings this occurred from?

Is this now not allowing you to bring up the Game Bar menu, as shown on our
troubleshoot Game Bar on Windows 10 support article:

What should I do if Game bar and shortcuts aren’t working?

Make sure you have the latest updates on your Windows 10 PC. Press the
Start button, then choose Settings. Go to Update & security, then select
Check for updates.
Check your Game bar settings. Press the Start button, then choose
Settings. Go to Gaming > Game bar, then turn on
Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar.
When playing a game, press the Windows logo key+ G to open Game bar. Select the
Enable gaming features for this app to record gameplay check box if prompted.
The game may be running in full-screen mode. See
How do I record a game if it’s in full-screen mode? above.
The game may be blocking custom keyboard shortcuts. See
Why don’t my customized shortcuts for Game bar work? below.
Make sure you’ve updated your graphics drivers. See
Hardware requirements for Game bar on Windows 10.
Try choosing a different display option for your game (such as borderless windows).

Can you clarify the exact occurrence as experienced and we'll await your response.

Best wishes!

Check the Store for an update to Game Bar. Also in search type Apps and Features then click on Xbox Game Bar, then click advanced options then from here you can reset the app.

Try going to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features. Find Xbox Game Bar and Chose Advanced Options and try resetting the app. After you reset, I recommend restarting your PC and then trying again.

Hey there! You can always Reset or Terminate the Game Bar and download it again from the Microsoft Store App. See if that helps! To Access the Reset/Terminate option, go to your computer Settings > Apps > Click on Xbox Game Bar > Advanced Features! Hope
that helps!
