  1. Xbox App Crashes After Update + Xbox Game Bar Issues


    Hello Xbox Community,

    Recently, I’ve been experiencing issues with the Xbox app after updating it via the Microsoft Store. When I open the app, it closes itself immediately. Additionally, when I use the Xbox Game Bar and try to join or invite someone to a party, I get a message saying, "Something went wrong with the widget."

    I checked the Event Viewer and found the following error:

    Faulting application name: XboxPcApp.exe, version: 2503.1000.39.0, timestamp: 0x67d38ddc

    Application ID related to the faulty package: Microsoft.Xbox.App

    I've tried basic troubleshooting but haven’t been able to fix it. If anyone knows a solution, I would really appreciate your help!

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please update windows and apps by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates. Install any available updates.

    To update Xbox App and gaming services. Open the Microsoft Store, go to your Library, and check for updates for both the Xbox app and Gaming Services.

    And then repair the Xbox Game Bar app. To do this, open Settings press Windows key + I. Go to Apps & Features: Navigate to Apps > Apps & features.

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues playing games on your PC.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please repair or reset the Xbox App. Since the crash occurs in the Xbox app, start by repairing or resetting it by going to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.

    Locate the Xbox App, click Advanced Options, and choose: Repair. This won’t delete your data. If the issue persists, choose Reset.

    And then reinstall Gaming Services. To do this, open PowerShell as Administrator.

    Run the following commands:

    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    Reinstall Gaming Services and restart your PC.

    Next is to update Windows. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Install all available updates, including optional updates.

    Then repair System Files because a corrupted system files like combase.dll may be causing crashes. Please open Command Prompt as Administrator.

    Run the following commands one at a time:

    System File Checker:

    sfc /scannow

    DISM Tool:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Restart your PC after the scans are complete.

    After that is to disable overlays from apps like NVIDIA GeForce Experience or Xbox Game Bar can conflict with games. To do this, open NVIDIA GeForce Experience, go to Settings > General, and disable In-Game Overlay.

    Disable the Xbox Game Bar by going to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar and toggling it off.

    Kindly uninstall the Xbox app from Settings > Apps. Open the Microsoft Store and reinstall the Xbox app.

    Since Oblivion and other games are affected, please uninstall one of the problematic games and then reinstall it via the Xbox app and test if the issue persists.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Xbox PC app games crashing display driver

    Cannot Sign Into Gamebar Or any other services that require xbox sign in using a app named xbox but its a grey backround Popup Error (0x89235107)

    As of the restart the Xbox App seems to be loading forever on the "Launching the Xbox App" screen and the Sign in white screen continues on the Game Bar even after resetting the MS store and resigning in to it.

    Meaning that as of right now the only temporary fix is to reset Both the Xbox App and Game Bar everytime it first opens after it crashes (as it often does) or when I restart the computer. Which is quite a hassle because it resets the layout of the widgets and all the sound settings I change within it
