    Game Bar won't show friends - "We can't show your friends right now. Try again in a bit"


    My game bar displays "we can't show your friends right now. try again in a bit" If I click the refresh button no dice.

    I have reset/repaired both game bar and xbox app. I have tried the powershell removal command then went into the store and installed gamebar.

    I have reset Windows 11, I have now done a clean install with Windows 11 and still the same issue. I have set all my privacy settings to enable and allow and even created a new xbox account and logged in, that account I can see friends (I added one). I then went back and logged back into my original account and it's the same issue, we can't show your friends. I have tried game bar on a separate PC and it's the same issue, can't show your friends. What is blocking my friends list? Btw I can see my friends in the xbox app and on the actual xbox too. HELP!

    :)

    Game Bar won't show friends - "We can't show your friends right now. Try again in a bit"

    Hello Wreed, thank you for sharing your concern with us and we hope that all is well.

    We understand that the issue is related to Xbox Game Bar party chat where you cannot see your friends online. Let us check on this together and sort this out. Rest assured; we will do anything in our capability to assist you with your concern.

    It appears that the issue is related to the account that was signed in.
    before we proceed:

    First, Check privacy settings on your Xbox account:

    Log in to your Xbox account online ( https://www.microsoft.com/store/b/xbox ) and go to "Privacy & online safety."
    Make sure your privacy settings are set to allow you to see your friends and their online activity.

    Additionally, if the account is a child account or managed by parent under Xbox Family settings group, only parent can change the settings because the child can only see it. To change the settings. the parent must sign in her/his account and click on child account to change the settings above.

    I will be waiting for your updates to assist you further.
    Have a wonderful day,
    Adam.

    @HOTBULLETTOWEN It didn't work, now it doesn't even show my friends. It just says we can't show your friends right now.

    My xbox game bar is saying "We can't show your friends right now. Try again in a bit." and i need help!

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

    My name is

    .

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience this situation is causing you.

    Welcome to the community. I hope I can help you in the best way.

    Hello RexGhezali, in addition to uninstalling, tried some more procedure on your PC, checked if your Windows has the latest version installed, at 21H1.

    See which version of Windows 10 you have

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/see...

    If you don't already, update windows, they come as optional updates, and then update to make sure your Xbox Apps are up to date.

    NOTE: At this time I write to you the Live servers are in maintenance, this can affect Xbox services.

    "We can't show your friends right now. Try refreshing the app."

    I can't believe it that this workaround actually works...

    Just have a friend open a random club, request an invite (no need to accept it) and follow it. Problem solved. If you cancel the request, your friendlist will be bugged again.

    Thanks to Dale T19 for this "fix".
