  1. Update Xbox/Gamebar Blocking System


    I am not sure where to start on this one as there is so much to cover here and mayor changes that needs to be made to the blocking system when you block someone you are blocking them for one reason or another. The fact that after that person being blocked they can still communicate with you in several ways 1 they check your profile and notice you are no longer connected as friends so they try and add you back but get an (something went wrong please try again later) we all know that when it says that you have been blocked and or can easily checked by using an alt account In fact with blocking someone with the way its currently setup if you are using the mobile app you can spam the add button an few times really fast and eventually the account gets an follow notification from the blocked account really great security and privacy here isn't it?

    An few ideas I have as follows to allow a bit more security/privacy from the person/s that you have blocked and that is If you block someone

    You become an ghost account on their list by means you will remain an friend to them they just cant see your profile as in the same way you can lock it down in your privacy settings so they really do not know that you have blocked them they can still try and invite/message but it dose nothing.

    The other thing is as above if you end up blocking someone for what ever reason it maybe if you change your gametag this should not update in there messages that way its harder for them to add you back from another account as again when you change your gametag for someone that is blocked it updates it in there message feed witch really is yet another privacy concern I think implementing small little changes like this will help some players feel like they have more privacy/safety from those they do not wish to have contact. It is really annoying that when you block someone its supper easy to add them back and them still being able to follow your account when you have blocked them that should also be removed

    one last thing that should or could be implemented is an block in the settings to prevent anyone from following you its creepy that anyone can go to your profile and become an follower yes there are some changes you can make to lock down your profile but really it should be owner approval.

    I really hope that MS take some of this feedback and do look at some form of solution to an few of these issues.

    Xbox Game Bar offline installer

    it has to be installed via windows store, besides if the store is blocked then gamebar will most likely be blocked also.

    Game Bar Required Hardware

    check windows store for gamebar update, if not then uninstall gamebar and re install.

    Game Invite sound in Windows even when the app is fully closed

    it comes through gamebar, open gamebar and you can adjust the notification there, or open setting and adjust notifications for certain times. gamebar runs all the time in the background and the only way to remove gamebar is via a shell command but then that messes up the invite system then.

    XBOX GAME BAR BROKEN

    as that is a new device your on the old version of gamebar, open windows store and check for updates, there will be a gamebar update that will then look like your others once done.

    Updated the Gamebar can't start party's anymore

    Hello M O N S T FI z,

    You say that you updated your gamebar app, did you updated also your Windows 10?

    If so, what version do you have?

    And by updating the gamebar, do you mena normal update or that you inscribed yourself in Windows Insider program and enabled the beta of gamebar?

    Thanks!
