  1. Xbox Console Companion app is opening the Windows store when I attempt to join someone in...


    I have Minecraft installed, the companion app even recognizes that I have the game in my library.

    When I attempt to either join a friend currently playing or click 'play' on a realm page, the only available options I have are the Windows store. I click on the store and it brings me to Minecraft where it prompts me to either start a free trial or purchase the game.

    Am I not attempting to join a realm correctly? If not, does anyone know how to fix this?

    :)

    Your Microsoft store account is different than your Xbox account

    Opening the Xbox Console Companion app fixed this for me, thank you. It would always prompt me to open the new Xbox app, which I'd do, and it'd display this problem. However, if I ignored it and continued into Xbox Console Companion, it prompted me to sign in there, which succeeded, and that removed the flashing window in XBox app and the repeated mix up of store account.

    Incidentally it was also the solution that let me then sign into Mincecraft on PC.

    Unable to log into Xbox apps on Windows 10 after changing Microsoft email.

    Hey, thanks for responding! Unfortunately, this also did not work for me :( The Xbox app now rapidly opens and closes the login screen when I attempt to log in, and the console companion app is giving me error code (0x409) 0x80131509.

    Xbox (Beta) Windows 10 App

    Guessing the Xbox Beta app combines console companion and the windows store?

    Found the functionality I was looking for in the windows store (access to Game Pass PC software).

    Xbox Game Bar (beta) notifications

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with the Xbox App on PC. I recommend to try this link: Troubleshoot
    Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10
    .

    If the issue persists, try this:

    1. Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.

    2. Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.

    3. Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage
    *xboxapp*| Remove-AppxPackage

    4. Hit Enter.

    Launch Windows Store and download Xbox App.

    Give this a try and let us know the results.
    That did not help at all.

    I've tested it a bit more.

    I have an Xbox One, iOS Xbox app and PC with Xbox Companion App and Xbox Game Bar (beta) and my family helped me test it with their accounts

    I can receive notifications about party invites from everyone when I am on my Xbox One. This actually works fine.

    I can only receive notifications from parties created by Xbox Companion app on my iOS Xbox app. No notifications about party invites sent from Xbox One.

    I can join any parties both on my iOS app and on my Xbox One console.

    On my PC I can only receive message notifications and voice chat requests both in my Xbox Game Bar and Xbox Companion.

    I do not receive any notifications about invites to party neither in Xbox Companion, nor in Xbox Game Bar

    From my Xbox Companion I can join open parties that were created by Xbox Companion on another PC if I click on a friend's name.

    From my Xbox Companion I CANNOT join open parties that were created on Xbox One console, even if I click on a friend's name and see that he is in a party

    From my Xbox Game Bar there is NO option to specifically join a party if a friend is in one, if I choose to "join voice chat" I join a different voice chat and not the one that he has with his party.

    Please sort this out. This stuff is actually messing up my ability to join premade groups in Gears 5 multiplayer and I am wasting that XP boost that I got for paying for a deluxe version of the game!
