Missing Xbox app search bar after update?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Coder-256, this is really weird, try to follow the procedures below.

DEFRAG

Defragment your Windows 10 PC

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/def...

Using System File Checker in Windows

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/usi...

chkdsk

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server...

1 - Type cmd (Command Prompt) in the search bar of the Start menu and then click Run as administrator.

2 - Enter chkdsk /f/x/r/v

Being in use the system will ask if the user wants to check the chosen drive after reboot. Just type S and restart the computer.

So, I went to my windows search bar and typed "apps and features" and then searched "Xbox" uninstalled it. Then did the same for the "EA" app uninstalled it. After that I went to the windows search bar and type "Microsoft store". Proceed to redownloading "Xbox app" and within the Xbox app redownload the "EA app". This fixed my issue.

Check the Store for an update to Game Bar. Also in search type Apps and Features then click on Xbox Game Bar, then click advanced options then from here you can reset the app.

Thanks, Big try this to see if that does the trick:

I see, let's try this mate:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

Then:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app and game bar:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset and give it a new try

-------

In case that doesn't work, try uninstalling game bar via powershell command (as administrator)

Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the pop-up menu.

Copy and paste the following command in PowerShell and hit Enter to uninstall the Game Bar from your system.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart your PC and head over to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game Bar and see if you're able to install it now
