Unable to install xbox game bar

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

My name is Vinicius.

I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

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

aditya, there are a few more things we could try:

So, let's try this, 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;

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

______________________________________________________________

Then try this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

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

Then do the same for the Microsoft store app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Microsoft store app > click on it and select advanced options.

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

______________________________________________________________

If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command.

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

Then, after you do it, you're going to open the game pass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again

______________________________________________________________

If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool, using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

Hello again and thanks for the commitment to help me through this.

Unfortunately, creating a brand new account and attempting to use Xbox Game Bar (after making sure Xbox and Game Bar itself were installed too) ended up in me getting the very same issue on that option and on top of this, I'm unable to even access the in-Bar Xbox Game Bar Settings through the in-Bar wheel icon.
Elaborating through, I crossed the thought of whether there's any Administrator permission I could attempt to give to Xbox Game Bar through my main Admin account in some way you may know of.. Let me know.
with regards,
