Game bar doesn't pop up after updating to windows 11

-windows 11

-checked the windows store and the game bar doesn't need to be updated

-checked the app settings to see if the notifications where off, it was all on, should be working but it isn't

It doesn't seem to be a problem with Game Bar. I checked if this happens on my PC's with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and the same happens.

Oh, thanks! I thought was an issue with Game Bar

Buddy, the previous PC was using Windows 11? Or was windows 10?

If you want, we can try removing game bar and give it a new try :

Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the pop-up menu.

Copy and paste the following command in PowerShell and hit Enter to uninstall the Game Bar from your system.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart your PC and try again

Thanks, Big try this to see if that does the trick:

I see, let's try this mate:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

Then:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app and game bar:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset and give it a new try

In case that doesn't work, try uninstalling game bar via powershell command (as administrator)

Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the pop-up menu.

Copy and paste the following command in PowerShell and hit Enter to uninstall the Game Bar from your system.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart your PC and head over to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game Bar and see if you're able to install it now

May I know if you tried repairing and resetting the game bar to see if that helps?

By the way, make sure that your windows system and all apps are up to date :
Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

If everything is up to date and repairing and resetting the app didn't work try this:

Reinstall the game bar via powershell command
Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the pop-up menu.

Copy and paste the following command in PowerShell and hit Enter to uninstall the Game Bar from your system.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Now head over to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game Bar, install it and give it a new try

If maybe that doesn't work please delete the registry keys associated with the game bar:

Press Windows key+R then type regedit and press Enter.
Go to this path (expand the folders using the little ">")

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR

Once there delete all the keys except (Default), restart your PC and try again
