xbox app notification in taskbar

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 Skyvol

Just to confirm, you already disabled the notifications for the app via Windows settings > system > notifications > find the app and turn off the toggle

And also do the same opening Xbox app > settings > notifications > disable everything there.

If everything is off already. Try this:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Finally do this:

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app and check if the notifications are still disabled. If not, repeat the steps provided at the beginning

Here are other troubleshooting steps too:

Please disable Xbox Services. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type services.msc and press Enter.

In the Services window, find all Xbox-related services (e.g., Xbox Live Auth Manager, Xbox Live Game Save, Xbox Live Networking Service).

Right-click on each service, select "Properties", and set the "Startup type" to "Disabled".

And then remove from Startup. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.

Go to the "Startup" tab.

Find the Xbox app in the list, right-click on it, and select "Disable".

Next is to check taskbar settings. Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings".

Scroll down to the "Notification area" section and click on "Select which icons appear on the taskbar".

Ensure that the Xbox app is turned off in this list.

Hi Dawson.

My name is Renato.

For now, I want to inform you that I don't have access to your data and account.

It's possible that an error has occurred in your app, if suddenly you're not receiving any notifications. However, I suggest checking if your app is correctly configured to receive notifications before considering any potential issues.

Sign in to your account in the Xbox app.
Select your gamertag and then Settings.
Select Notifications.
Update the checkboxes based on how you’d like to receive notifications.

Even though it might seem obvious, it's always best to ensure that our PC and all drivers are up to date. The same goes for the Xbox app.

To update your app.

Press the Start button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app.
Select Library.
Under Updates & downloads, check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services app.
If an update is available, select Update.

Kind regards
Renato

good evening

The instructions provided in the link you shared are generally correct for removing the Xbox app icon from the taskbar in Windows 10. Here is a summary of the steps:

Right-click on the Xbox app icon in the taskbar and select "Unpin from taskbar". This will remove the icon from the taskbar.

Open the Xbox app from the Start menu or the Windows Store.

Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the app to open the settings.

In the settings, toggle off the "Show me as playing" option.

Close the Xbox app.

These steps should remove the Xbox app icon from the taskbar and prevent it from reappearing. However, please keep in mind that by disabling the 'show me as playing' feature will prevent your friends from seeing what games you are currently playing or when you were last active.
