Hello I 💓 going 💯 💙💔💙,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. We're sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the Xbox Game Bar.

I'd like to clarify your concern; do you mean that pressing the Xbox button on your controller does not allow you to open and enable the Xbox Game bar? Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:

Make sure that your Xbox controller is connected to your PC via Bluetooth or USB cable.

Enable Xbox Game Bar via Settings:

1. Open Settings.
   
2. Click the Gaming tab in the left pane and select Xbox Game Bar.
   
3. Toggle the button next to Open Xbox Game Bar to “On”.
   
4. Reboot the system to apply changes and then launch Xbox Game Bar.
   

If the issue persists, try repair or reset the Game Bar by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Game Bar > Advanced options > Select Repair. If this does not do anything, select Reset.

For other troubleshooting guide, see Troubleshoot your Xbox Wireless Controller | Xbox Support.



Let me know how it goes.

Kind regards,

Lavenia

Press the Windows key + G to bring up the Game Bar, and then you can turn game mode on from there.

The Game Bar is buggy though, and doesn't always show up.

Hi ThwartedHorse6,

You should still be able to turn off the game's animations. After you launch the game, bring up the Charms bar on the right-hand side of the screen and then select Settings and then Game options. Once in the menu, turn off Background animation.

Please let me know if this doesn't turn off the animations.

Try to turn off the Game bar and restart your computer before turning it on again.

How to disable Game bar

- Right-click the Start button.

- Click Settings.
