How do I fix game bar being stuck on the sign in screen?

Kris W L · Mar 4, 2024

Ever since the new game bar update I haven't been able to go onto gamebar because it says "signing in". No matter how long I wait for it, it continues to be stuck there. I have tried everything from resetting and repairing it to uninstalling it, to troubleshooting the Windows store and the Xbox app(which also won't launch). I know there has to be a solution to it because it was working before, and someone else is dealing with the same problem right now but I can't find it anywhere online.

Please, make sure your Windows is updated:

Then, reset and repair your game bar again:

Press the Windows Key+X > Settings > System > System Components > Search for Game Bar > click the three dots ... > Advanced > Restore

Then, on the same page, press Repair.

After that, please, download the Gaming Services Repair tool:

that worked thank you! but i do have another question about game bar, when ever i go in and out of full screen the recording stops, do you know how to fix that.

There was an alert out for not being able to sign in, syncing your game with the cloud etc.

Should be fixed now.

I just tried to go into minecraft, its still the same thing. Stuck at the syncing user data screen. I dont know if my game has something on it thats making it not work, but nothing is helping this.
