    Why Does My Xbox Game Bar Keep Closing?


    I've seen other questions out like this, but I have narrowed it down to why it's happening. My game bar works just fine until I start to load the chat tab in the social widget or when I open a chat from the friends tab. I don't know why this is happening and I was hoping to contact Microsoft support about finding a solution, but they want to act lazy and have me contact the community about a problem nobody knows the solution too.

    :)

    Why Does My Xbox Game Bar Keep Closing?

    1. too long ago

    2. Windows 11 22H2

    3. No Idea

    4. I've tried everything, repairing, resetting, everything.

    My game bar works, except for when I open up the social widget. When I open the social widget, it kicks me out of the game bar and when I do the shortcut, it opens for a second and then closes right away.

    [PC] Xbox Game bar push to talk not working in background

    I discovered this exact same issue last night, between State of Decay 2 and the Xbox Game Bar.

    My workaround was to PTT transmit with the game-bar open, then close the bar overlay to return to gameplay - the problem this created was that I was always transmitting, which does not help in your scenario.
