  1. XBox and Xbox Game Bar won't start on my laptop


    Yesterday both apps were working fine, then I guess the new update kicked in for both and neither app wants to start up. My Windows 10 is up to date so that ain't the issue...

    Anyone got any clue if this is getting sorted with a fix or do you have any suggestions? No matter how much I click on their icons it won't start up, I can't even get a prompt for anything.

    :)

    XBox and Xbox Game Bar won't start on my laptop

    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 Halla_Solasan, how are you today? Hope you're well.

    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 xbox game bar > 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 Xbox app:

    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.

    ______________________________________________________________

    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.

    Do you mean that after I setup my xbox in the start, then I won't need a TV for projecting it to my laptop?

    I can't record and clip with the xBox game bar

    I have an older and very bad laptop where I don't have any issue with the Xbox Game bar.
    This laptop is the Lenovo Legion Y520. It was for my brother and I was using it to play games, I haven't this issue. But now we added my account on it and removed a lot of his stuff and recording with Xbox Game bar isn't working anymore.

    Xbox game bar and Xbox Companion both not letting me talk or join parties

    ive been having this same problem, mostly when the wifi goes out. it gets stuck on this error code, and at first i only thought it could be fixed by resetting my laptop. but, if you search for the xbox game bar in the windows search bar, go to app settings
    in the options list, scroll down to reset, and click repair, it starts to work.
