I dont get party invites on my Xbox game bar - PC VERSION

Xbox companion app is discontinued, and the "Party Invitations" and "Games" notification settings are nonexistent in the Xbox PC app. Settings for invites and messages are all on the Game Bar app for PC.

You'll just have to make sure these settings are checked after reinstalling the game bar @ (Game Bar)Settings>Notifications>Xbox Social>Notify me when I'm invited to a party or multiplayer game

I read this from a post a while back

"Open the Settings app and go to the Gaming section.

Disable the Game Bar

Once done, open Powershell with Admin or CMD with Admin (Press Windows key + X then click Windows Powershell(Admin))

Copy the line of command to Powershell then press enter:

get-appxpackage *gamingoverlay* | remove-appxpackage

Open the Xbox Companion App.

Go to Settings > Notifications and enable Party & game invitations."

What does Copy the line of commany to Powershell mean??? what am I suppose to do?

In the post you read, the author suggests that you follow these steps to fix an issue with party invites in the Xbox Game Bar for PC:

1. You disable the Game Bar in the Settings app.

2. You open Powershell with administrator privileges.

3. You copy a command line into Powershell.
You press Enter to run the command line.

4. You open the Xbox Companion app.

5. You enable notifications for party and game invites in the Xbox Companion app.

The command line that you must copy into Powershell is the following:

get-appxpackage *gamingoverlay* | remove-appxpackage

This command line tells Powershell to find all application packages that contain the string "gamingoverlay" and then delete them. In this case, the string "gamingoverlay" refers to the Xbox Game Bar.

By removing the Game Bar, you are restoring the Game Bar's default settings. This can solve some problems, like the one you're experiencing with party invitations.

Once you've removed the Game Bar, you need to re-enable it in the Xbox Companion app. To do this, open the Xbox Companion app and go to Settings > Notifications. Next, make sure “Party Invitations” and “Games” are enabled.

If you have the latest update, then party invites don't go to the Xbox Console Companion app anymore, and they go straight to the Game Bar. Same for party chat on the PC.

To access the Game Bar, just press the Windows button and G at the same time, you should be able to see your invites there.
