Need help getting Xbox bar to work (Windows 11)

Unfortunately, none of this didn't work. I even tried another method, which is system recovery and didn't work too.

Hello, Orbange my name is oskayra I am an independent advisor and player like you I hope I can help solve your problem today

Unfortunately, uninstalling the Xbox Game Bar SYSTEM file can cause issues like you're experiencing. While the app might appear installed, its core functionality could be damaged.

Here are some advanced troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. System File Checker (SFC):

Open Command Prompt as administrator.
Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
This will scan and repair any corrupted system files, including those related to the Xbox Game Bar.
2. DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management):

Open Command Prompt as administrator.
Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter.
This will repair any corrupted Windows system images, which could also be causing the Xbox Game Bar issue.
3. Reinstall Xbox Game Bar:

Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.
Type powershell and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open PowerShell as administrator.
Type the following command and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage
This will completely remove the Xbox Game Bar app.
Open the Microsoft Store app.
Search for "Xbox Game Bar" and install it again.
4. Check for Windows Updates:

Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
Check for available updates and install them.
Sometimes, critical updates can fix issues with built-in apps like the Xbox Game Bar.
5. Create a new local user profile:

This can be a last resort option if none of the above steps work.
Creating a new user profile eliminates the possibility of any corrupted settings causing the issue with the Xbox Game Bar.
Follow the steps on the Microsoft support website to create a new local user profile: https://support.microsoft.com/windo...-windows-20de74e0-ac7f-3502-a866-32915af2a34d

-windows 11

-checked the windows store and the game bar doesn't need to be updated

-checked the app settings to see if the notifications where off, it was all on, should be working but it isn't

No updates available for the Xbox app, I did however need to update my Nvidia Driver however this didnt help anything. I updated from windows 10 home to windows 11 in hope that itd work after the update but alas, it didnt. Also no new updates via windows either.

I'll add however, I can access both the Game Bar and Console Companion but I cant access the Xbox app.Right clicking the xbox app when it pops up on the task bar and selecting an option will get me into the app, but once i'm in the app, I cant sign in.
