Gamebar Opens for half a second then closes.

50kud0 · Jul 29, 2022

Whenever I open Xbox Gamebar, it opens for less than a second and then closes. I have tried to troubleshoot this by completely wiping my computer, Uninstalling and reinstalling, Repairing, and restoring. Nothing seems to be working. The only way I seem to be able to get it to work is by making another profile on my pc. Has anyone else had this issue and how did they solve it?

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello 50kud0, what would be the if operating system, Win 10 or 11?

After reinstalling the system you made the optional Windows Updates, they are on the same page of Updates but are necessary for the proper functioning of the system.

In addition to the Game Bar, do you have xbox and companion apps installed on your computer?

I'll be waiting for your reply

No, an error message is not shown when opening the apps. I attempted the PowerShell then restart, that did nothing. When I attempt to open the Xbox App or Microsoft Store, it will open for maybe half a second, then close it self.

Open Gamebar open Gamebar Widget Menu and add "Looking for group". Done.

Open Console Companion and do like always. Done

Don't open Xbox App because Xbox App is not Gamebar nor Companion.

it comes through gamebar, open gamebar and you can adjust the notification there, or open setting and adjust notifications for certain times. gamebar runs all the time in the background and the only way to remove gamebar is via a shell command but then that messes up the invite system then.

Our gamestation is inside Blockbuster, and isn't on the list of 'open' stores. Will be interesting to see if they have one half of the place open and one half closed??
