Game Bar on PC closing itself

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Jnutter819, have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 21H2.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

If you haven't updated yet, click the link below, update, and make all subsequent security updates.

Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

I have the same problem.

I have the store with a small on my computer, and when I scroll down it breaks.

I figure it's after the store loads 12+ apps, when you scroll down the window or make the window bigger and expand the window over the 12 apps is when it breaks, and closes the GameBar. So you push "Win" + G over and over again to hope for another result

;-p

My windows is up to date, and the other apps too I guess (only use 3 and I can't find an option to update)

and it looks like the update for the GameBar is the windows update, so you give you no confidence in this response.

I tried all those steps multiple times, issue still persists.

You need to turn the notifications on in your PC itself. Just go to your PC settings to find where the notification settings are and turn it on. Make sure you get on your game settings in your pc and make sure game bar is on as well.
