    Repairing and resetting the app will fix the issue, although it returns shortly thereafter. What happens if that when I call for the Game Bar, it opens as usual and, just a couple seconds after, it closes down.

    Hi Renaynay, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    First, check your time settings, and set it to automatic.

    Press the Windows Key + X > Settings > Time & language > Date & time > Enable "Set Timezone Automatically" and "Set Time Automatically".

    Afterward, make sure your Windows is updated:

    Then, download the Gaming Services Repair tool: https://aka.ms/GamingRepairTool

    Once downloaded, execute the file by right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Follow the prompts and check if the issue was resolved.

    Let me know if it works!

    It, unfortunately, did not. The issue remains.

    Shuts off immediately after being turned on

    I'm having the same issue brother and can't figure out what the hell is going on. I can run my Hulu and Netflix app but can't play any of my games. I'm beyond frustrated so you're not the only one.

    Turns on but then immediately shuts off?

    My suggestion, if you've tried troubleshooting, is to call the MS store closest to you and set up an appointment with a technician to try to fix the problem.
