Xbox App will not expand from taskbar

Hi,

Issues with launching Xbox App on Windows 10 may occur if the app is corrupted or not updated. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you check for new Windows Updates by following the steps on this

If the issue persists, re-register all Windows Store Apps by running the following commands:

1. Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard.
2. Select Command Prompt (Admin).
3. Type the following command and hit Enter: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
   
   Then, type: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
4. Relaunch Xbox app.

If you need further assistance, feel free to reply to this post anytime.

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.

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
