Hi EstrogenMale848,

Greetings!

Thank you for publishing in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're experiencing issues with the Xbox Game Bar. To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend the following steps:



1. Check if the Xbox Game Bar is enabled in Windows settings. To do this, go to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar and make sure the toggle switch is turned on.



2. Try resetting the Xbox Game Bar. To do this, open the Start menu and search for "Xbox Game Bar". Right-click on the app and select "App settings". Scroll down and click on "Reset".



If the steps above doesn't work, I'd like to ask the Windows version of your PC?

If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool.

Using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

Hi,

You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
tap G on the keyboard.

Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
Xbox button.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.

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.

Following these steps may resolve issues with party invitations on your Xbox Game Bar on PC.
