PC Xbox Game Bar still kicks from parties with Xbox users.

Work Magics · Aug 22, 2022

When using the Xbox Game Bar on PC, for around 10 to 15 seconds I can hear everyone and then everyone goes quiet, my name still lights up like its still registering my voice and I still have audio for other things so its not my headset. I have no clue how to fix this as I have already tried messing with my internet settings and uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox app as well as resetting the game bar, each to no avail. I have asked my friends who are on the Xbox what is happening to me from their point of view and they said that I am being kicked from the party.

I would like to add that this has been answered previously and I have both repaired, and reset the game bar. The only real solution is to restart my computer.

I do not want to have to do this every time the game bar stops working, So I would appreciate to hear that this gets more attention.

I have the same problem, and this ^ does not fix anything.

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

My name is Vinicius.

Hey Jack, how are you today? Hope you're well.

Actually, this had been happening for a few days now, mate. We believe is just an instability with the service. Try the procedure I'll leave below, and if that doesn't work, we advise waiting for a while.

First, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

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

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

Then try this:

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

After that click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.
