I've tried to open the game bar with (Windows + G) but it didn't work. So what do I do to open it?

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:

Just to double check, is your Steam account connected to your Microsoft account?

Open game bar (Windows key + G) > Settings > Accounts > if yes, please unlink it temporarily. After that do the previous, but only the reset and repair thing with these apps:

Game Bar, Xbox App, Sea of thieves app.

Restart your PC, open game bar again and link your steam account. And finally try again .

By the way, the play option (the ones that redirect you to Steam) is the one inside the Xbox PC app?

It's astonishing how this hasn't been fixed ever since the game bar came out. Please Microsoft, do something. It's infuriating to stop playing the game and open game bar just to tell my friends important information of location of enemy, or such.

Even then, it crashes pretty frequently when I have to open game bar to talk to friends.

The reason why I cannot do this is because my xBox Games Bar won't even open. Yes, I'm well aware that I could deinstall my captures but I cannot open the Game Bar when I'm playing a game. That is my question, how to fix that?
