    How do you fix a dead/broken Xbox app and semi dead Game bar app?


    Last night I opened my Xbox app and started a game and then Game Bar around 30 seconds after, it then preceded to crash my pc and upon my pc rebooting, rendered both the Xbox app and Game Bar unusable.

    I've restarted the apps and my pc multiple times, I've repaired and reset the apps multiple times, I've run the Gaming Services Repair Tool three times. I've uninstalled with Powershell multiple times, reinstalled with Powershell a couple times, and I've read multiple other "fixes" that failed. I've only not done a handful of things so far, like reinstalling windows or deleting the old Microsoft Game Input Service app/file, which it seems I have three of (all the dates are different on the two GameinputSvc files and the installed Microsoft Game Input app). At first the Game Bar and the Xbox Insider app weren't working either, but since then it has started working again. The Game Bar app still crashes every time I try to join or start a party, but it does open and work "normally" for the most part besides that. The Xbox app itself does not start. It opens the black screen with the Xbox logo for about a second and a half and then crashes with the "XboxPcApp.exe" error showing up in the Event Viewer after.

    I have two app errors and a Game Input Service error.

    Here are the set of error messages in Event Viewer:

    Error #1

    Why is the Xbox app so bad and broken?

    The app has been semi broken in different ways over the years. It needs a complete overhaul to be more in line with the game pass app.

    Xbox One Elite Controller Series 2 Right Analogue Stick constantly in an up position according to software.

    Hello DazzV1,

    If you try to setup the controller via Xbox Accesories app, you can set up the dead zone of the joysticks, so maybe that can fix this issue.

    Can you try to do it?

    Dead Rising 3 Companion app doesnt work

    Dr Ravenholm and JamBa JamBaLaya have it figured out. What you want to see when you start up the Dead Rising 3 companion app is text at the top that says something like "Dead Rising 3 Companion app unavailable. Look for notifications in-game for when it's
    available." Then, once you start loading a game, you should see something like "Dead Rising Companion App is paused." Once your game loads, everything should work fine.

    If you don't see that text shortly after you start the companion app, then it's probably not going to work right. It's frustrating that it has this bug, since it sort of conflicts with the system suspend/resume for Dead Rising 3.

    Xbox controller drift, on an elite controller!?

    For me, adjusting the dead zones worked. Go into the Xbox accessories app and increase the dead zone range. If you have to adjust it a lot to counter the drift, you can always increase the joystick sensitivity in game to counter the dead zone.
