    Hi Kathy

    I have done everything you suggested and my controller still will not open the Xbox game bar. It will open with Windows + G but not my controller. When I first connect my controller it will open the game bar but after that it does nothing.

    Thanks

    Carl

    Hello Carl21YJ,

    Thanks for the update.

    In that case, let us try to check the following troubleshooting:

    Power Cycle controller:

    1. Press and hold the Xbox button for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off.
    2. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on.

    Update controller:

    1. Install and launch Xbox Accessories app.
    2. Connect controller with the USB cable.
    3. Check if there is a pending update for the controller.

    Try to use the controller to a console:

    1. If you or your friend has a console, connect the controller to the console.
    2. Sync and see if you can use the Xbox Button.

    Try to use the controller on mobile/other PC.


    Please update us on how these 4 troubleshooting went.

    Regards,

    Hi Breanna

    You would need to download windows using the media creation tool on the Microsoft site. Using a media usb stick will be easiest. Also you may need your windows key so don’t start any reinstalling before you have that.
