    Xbox Game Bar banners not sending correctly


    I'm having an issue with the Xbox game bar where it'll only send the notification popups/banners whenever I'm in fullscreen mode on an application or game.

    I don't know if this is it's purpose or not, but I want to be able to receive banners regardless of if I'm in fullscreen mode or not.

    I've already tried fixing this myself loads of times, but was unsuccessful; I also tried searching for an answer, but couldn't find someone having the same issue (maybe I wasn't searching the right terms?)

    I should also mention that I receive banners whenever I get an invitation to someones party, the only time I don't receive anything out of fullscreen mode is if I get a message.

    I hope there's a fix for this, and that xbox game bar wasn't just programmed to work this way, because I find the banners much more convenient than the xbox app windows notifications.

    :)

    Take actions related to Display Driver

    Windows Key+X > Click Device Manager > Expand Display Adapter > Right click on entry below >

    A. Rollback the Driver

    Click Properties > Go to Driver tab > If there is rollback option, click it

    B. Update driver from manufacturer's website

    Go to the website of the driver's manufacturer or computer's manufacturer > See if some driver is released for your model and OS > If yes, download that > In previous option, click Uninstall > Install the downloaded driver > Restart your computer

    You will need to restart your computer after the above steps.

    Hey Vijay!

    Thanks so much for helping me, I went through reinstalling Xbox games and everything yet the issue still persists, I'm trying to tinker with my graphics settings to see if I can resolve this if you have any ideas, I'd be more than grateful to hear them.

    Thanks!

    Hi TomAndJerry342

    Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. Try these and check after each step.

    1. Repair / Reset XBox Game Bar App

    Windows Key+i> Apps > Locate Photos by Scrolling Down > Click Advanced Options > Click Repair

    If Repair doesn't work, click Reset

    2. If Reset doesn't work, then you should uninstall using Powershell and reinstall the XBox related Apps

    Windows+X > Click Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below command and paste in Powershell and Enter

    get-appxpackage *xbox* | remove-appxpackage

    Now, you need to reinstall it

    Use below Powershell command to install

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers *xbox* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    3. Re-register All Store apps (You will get many Reds, ignore them. This will reinstall all default Store apps. Hence, if you had removed any default app in the past, that would reappear)

    Windows+X > Click Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below line and paste in Powershell > Enter > Restart your computer

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Do let me know if you have any more question or require further help.

    Game Recording Bar position adjusting problem.

    Hi there!

    Thank you for coming to the forums. I'd be happy to try and help.

    Does it not allow you to drag it from the top banner of the game bar? Pressing the Windows Key + G will bring up the Game Bar so believe pressing it again should hide the game bar.

    Take a look at these support articles for plenty of information regarding the game bar on Window 10 and hopefully there is something there that can help you:


    I hope this helps!

    I can't edit my original post. You can ignore the entire first paragraph. What looked like the progress bars from Windows 8 are actually little tiny Xbox banners.
