    Is the Game Bar ever going to be fixed?


    Ever since the last month, I'm having a lot of issues with the Game Bar, since it does not capture my microphone unless the Game Bar is on screen. I have to repair and reset it everytime for it to work properly. Not only that, but when the game bar ends up working, if one of my friends join my party, not only do I not see the notification, but it sometimes lags my pc down to potato levels of performance (my pc is very performant and I have had it for only a year), sometimes even crashing my pc as a whole. It just freezes everything, including my games and apps, my mouse doesn't move anymore, etc. I have to restart my pc for it to work again. One of my friends has the same issue as me for just about the same amount of time. Also, it does happen quite often that the Game Bar just crashes out of nowhere, making me leave the party I'm in, and if I try to turn the Game Bar back on, it starts to lag my pc again. Please, Xbox, fix this since I can barely play and talk with my friends on console anymore. I end up switching to Discord and other communication apps that are not the Game Bar because it simply doesn't work anymore.

    :)

    Xbox Game bar (PC) push to talk not working in background

    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.

    Xbox Game Bar social tab (friends list) not working

    Xbox Game Bar has unfortunately been an afterthought for years. I still have issues with it not showing the correct status (the game I'm playing), I don't think they will ever actually fix that.
