xbox game bar/console companion icons bugged?

Are you able to sign out of your dads profile in the console companion app? If you sign into your account on the console companion app it should work.

Step by step using game bar

1. press "windows key and 'g' key" to bring up xbox game bar, or laucnch the app by searching "xbox game bar" next to start.
2. click on the gear icon
3. select accounts (on left side of setting pop-up)
4. select sign out next you current account
5. repeat steps 1-3 then click sign in
6. sign in with the desired account and your good to go

I believe they're remove Party from the companion app and moving it to the Xbox Game Bar (Win+G). Once you open Game Bar be sure to check if the option to receive Xbox One party/game invites is turned on.

To start a party on Game Bar, you'll have to create a new message and add friends in it and click on the Headset icon on the top right.

You mention already checking for updates in the Windows Store app. Have you tried resetting the Xbox Companion app? Right click Xbox Companion app icon> More> App Settings> Reset and Repair. Also, reset and repair the Game Bar app just in case.

Brad,

I do get notifications for Game Bar. My question is related to console companion. Will I receive game invites for console companion if I have game bar disabled?

Thank you and get well soon.

Let's try to sign out and sign in both on Xbox Game Bar and on the Xbox Console Companion.

On your Xbox Game Bar click the setting on your widget, you'll see the account where you can sign out from there, same goes with the Xbox console companion.
