    Xbox Companion App and Game Bar Issues


    I've always had trouble with the new game bar such as it crashing when joining a party. Now, this issue is the same with the companion app. Every time I join a party, it crashes without an error code. Even if i were to start a party, it would still crash.
    I've done everything i can, redownloading, updating graphics drivers, updating windows and the app, and terminating, repairing, and resetting the entire app with windows settings.

    ***Windows 10 / Performance & system failures***

    XBox Companion App on PC Party Chat Quiet

    I assume you're using the Xbox Game Bar to join parties? If so, could you try using either the Xbox Beta app, or the Xbox Console Companion app and see if you have the same volume issues? Hopefully it's just a Game Bar issue.

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

    In the post you read, the author suggests that you follow these steps to fix an issue with party invites in the Xbox Game Bar for PC:

    1. You disable the Game Bar in the Settings app.

    2. You open Powershell with administrator privileges.

    3. You copy a command line into Powershell.
    You press Enter to run the command line.

    4. You open the Xbox Companion app.

    5. You enable notifications for party and game invites in the Xbox Companion app.

    The command line that you must copy into Powershell is the following:

    get-appxpackage *gamingoverlay* | remove-appxpackage

    This command line tells Powershell to find all application packages that contain the string "gamingoverlay" and then delete them. In this case, the string "gamingoverlay" refers to the Xbox Game Bar.

    By removing the Game Bar, you are restoring the Game Bar's default settings. This can solve some problems, like the one you're experiencing with party invitations.

    Once you've removed the Game Bar, you need to re-enable it in the Xbox Companion app. To do this, open the Xbox Companion app and go to Settings > Notifications. Next, make sure “Party Invitations” and “Games” are enabled.

    Following these steps may resolve issues with party invitations on your Xbox Game Bar on PC.

    Here is a more detailed explanation of each step:

    Disable the Game Bar in the Settings app

    To disable the Game Bar in the Settings app, follow these steps:

    1. Open the Settings app.
    2. Click "Games."
    3. Turn off the "Game Bar" switch.

    To open Powershell with administrator privileges, follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows key + X.
    2. Click "Windows Powershell (Admin)".
    3. Copy the command line to Powershell

    To copy the command line into Powershell, follow these steps:

    1. Select the command line.
    2. Right-click and select "Copy".
    3. Run the command line in Powershell

    To run the command line in Powershell, follow these steps:

    1. Paste the command line into the Powershell window.
    2. Press Enter.
    3. Enable party and game invite notifications in the Xbox Companion app
