If that doesn't help then Reset Game Bar in Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Xbox Game bar > Advanced Options.

If that doesn't help then re-register Xbox Game bar from Option 2 here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-apps-re-register-windows-8-10-a.html

And if that doesn't help then uninstall Game Bar in App Settings above, restart PC, reinstall Game Bar from Microsoft Store Settings > My Library.

I hope this helps.

Hello!

I'm a Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you.

Check if searching for "Game Bar" in the windows search engine allows you to open the application.

Make sure you have Game Bar enabled by going to PC Settings > Games > Game Bar.

Also try to follow all the recommendations listed in the "What should I do if Xbox Game Bar and my shortcuts aren't working?" section of this link:

Hi there!

So to clarify you say that game DVR capturing works on your Xbox One with uploading to Xbox Live but it's not working on your Windows 10 PC?

Have you been able to share clips you've captured on the Game Bar DVR before in the past or is this the first time?

Take a look at this troubleshooting guide for some further assistance and maybe there is something on there that can assist you:

Also make sure your PC's graphics card is up to date:

I hope this helps!

I am having this issue and I have tried everything else. This is really annoying as I didn't have this issue before until the latest Xbox update.

Hello Luis Esparza1,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that your game bar party chat on PC is not working properly and your mic is not being picked up unless you pin the party to your screen. This can be frustrating and I apologize for the inconvenience.



There are a few possible causes and solutions for this problem. Here are some steps you can try:



- Make sure your mic is set as the default input device in Windows settings and in the Xbox app settings.

- Check if your mic is muted or turned off in the game bar settings or in the party settings.

- Update your audio drivers and Windows to the latest version.

- Restart your PC and the Xbox app.

- If none of the above works, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the Xbox app.



I hope this helps you resolve your issue. If you have any other questions or feedback, please let me know. Thank you for choosing Xbox and have a great day!
