  1. Xbox app and Game Bar not working PC


    All of a sudden my app and game bar are not working on PC.

    Xbox app just stays on black screen and Game bar opens for 1 second and then closes.

    I've done all the troubleshooting from clearing cache, repairing, and reseting app, uninstalling re-installing, updating windows and have had 0 fix. Anyone know a fix because this is frustrating.

    :)

    How to fix "Can't open ms-xbl-multiplayer link"?

    It appears that the game bar is looking for the app on your PC. It doesn't go to cloud gaming anymore. I hope it is a bug in the Game Bar/Xbox app/

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Daniel

    Do you know if your windows system received an update before this started to happen?
    If yes, let's try uninstalling the latest windows update to see if that helps:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/rec...

    If that doesn't work, try running this command in powershell as administrator (help to reinstall missing and corrupted dependencies)

    (You can open faster powershell pressing Windows key + X and there you can find it. Or press Windows key > start typing powershell > right click on it > run as administrator)

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Restart the PC and try again

    --------

    If that doesn't work try wirh the SFC tool to find and repair possible system corruptions

    Party Chat Trouble Exclamation Point Triangle

    I found the problem today 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 I think

    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".

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

    I dont get party invites on my Xbox game bar - PC VERSION

    Xbox companion app is discontinued, and the "Party Invitations" and "Games" notification settings are nonexistent in the Xbox PC app. Settings for invites and messages are all on the Game Bar app for PC.

    You'll just have to make sure these settings are checked after reinstalling the game bar @ (Game Bar)Settings>Notifications>Xbox Social>Notify me when I'm invited to a party or multiplayer game
