GameBar not launching, gives error in event viewer.

TimothyRWinters · Apr 4, 2021

I've been trying and following all sorts of directions to get the game bar to launch, but it refuses. I get the following error in the event viewer:

The server Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay_5.521.3093.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!App did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

and in the XML details, I get this:

- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">- <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM" Guid="{1B562E86-B7AA-4131-BADC-B6F3A001407E}" EventSourceName="DCOM" />

</EventData> </Event>

Does anyone have any real working answers for this? It was working up until the recent update. Could that be the issue?
