    Unable to exit Game Bar at times


    So, I'm trying out the new Compact Mode of the Game Bar, and it works really well...except for when a bug happens where the Game Bar refuses to go away, even when I press Win + G. I've also noticed that when it's in this state, every tab in the bar I go to stays open even when I switch tabs. The only way I've found to fix this issue is to restart my computer. I hope this gets fixed soon, the Compact Mode I believe might be just what I need to be able to fully control my PC with a gamepad in terms of gaming. All that's missing is a keyboard you can control with a gamepad.

    Hey Battiest, I believe that game should autosave every time you complete a mission, enter, or exit a building. Are you unable to continue from your previous game?

    I can hear people in Xbox party chat, but they can't hear me if I exit game bar.

    That's not really my issue. My friends can hear me while I have Game Bar up on screen. As soon as I exit and play my game, my friends can't hear me. I just figured out that if I pin the party chat widget on game bar so it stays there when I exit game bar, my friends will still be able to hear me. For now that's what I'll stick with, but I'd like to be able to remove the party chat widget from my screen.

    How to close or exit the Xbox Game Bar?

    settings, gaming, toggle it off, the service will still be in the background as its part of windows but uses nothing.

    How to close or exit the Xbox Game Bar?

    You just need to press [windows] + [G] to close the game bar.

    keep in mind that if you use the method mentioned by Tezzarrific you will need to then toggle
    it back on to use it again.
