Why is my Game Bar and my Xbox App not loading or working?

Hi Ricardo, thank you so much for your reply! I followed those steps, reset the Xbox Game Bar app and restarted my computer, and the game bar is working again! Thank you so much, everything loads perfectly now and my gaming videos are still there! I really appreciate all your help!

hi Drew,

no my Xbox Series S is working fine for me.
I only got Problems on windows 11 All over all xbox apps like Xbox Game Bar -> no Friends shown up and unaviable to load
Games can't contact authentication service (like Sea of Thieves in my additional debug Files) or Cloud Gaming also wont work.

At least, my Ultimate Pass runs trough 2023. hope it is getting fixed until then

Ive been having a problem where I try to install the app and cant even load in to it. The most that happens is a minus bar pops up and when you interact with it , the app will crash. Ive tried reinstalling it, unplugging my router, hard resetting my xbox. Pretty much everything in the book.

As of July 25 the AMC app does not work. Attempted all the troubleshooting but still not working.

Hey I posted this at the end of this thread but im pasting it to you as well - I found the problem but not sure of an "actual fix". I have had this issue since the updates as well, what I think is happening is that the xbox app is trying to over ride the game bar. So basically when you minimize game bar, your pc is trying to give the xbox app control but when you

re-open your game bar, your pc thinks you want to operate in side game bar and gives mic access back into there. So it keeps switching mic access back and forth. Its funny i uninstalled the xbox app as well as uninstall xbox app overlay and now my game bar works fine with no gold triangle. When i redownload either of the 2 apps the problem comes back. So the problem is in the apps. Can someone provide the fix for that? Let me know - Thanks

Delete those 2 apps and my money is on your game bar will start working again.
