XBOX Game Bar Controller Bar Problem

Strange not having any updates, anyway check if by disabling the Xbox game bar the problem stops happening, for that follow the instructions below, please.

Go to Windows Settings

Games

Xbox Game Bar

Deactivate it

Uncheck the box to open the Xbox game bar with the Xbox button on the controller as well.

If the problem persists, use a cable to plug the controller into your PC, open the accessories application and restore your elite controller settings to defaults, restart your PC and see if the problem persists.

I found the problem today but not sure of an "actual fix". I have had this issue since the updates as well, what I think is happening is that the xbox app is trying to over ride the game bar. So basically when you minimize game bar, your pc is trying to give the xbox app control but when you

re-open your game bar, your pc thinks you want to operate in side game bar and gives mic access back into there. So it keeps switching mic access back and forth. Its funny i uninstalled the xbox app as well as uninstall xbox app overlay and now my game bar works fine with no gold triangle. When i redownload either of the 2 apps the problem comes back. So the problem is in the apps I think

Hello Jacob S, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

This appears to be an easy error to fix.
Press Windows key + G on your keyboard to open the Xbox Game Bar.
Click the gear icon in the Xbox Game Bar sidebar to open settings.
Turn off "Open the Xbox Game Bar using the Xbox button on your controller or keyboard."
Once you have disabled the Xbox Game Bar, try deleting the game again and see if it now uninstalls correctly. If the game is removed without problems, you can turn Xbox Game Bar back on by following the same steps and reactivating the option you disabled.

Best regards.

Chiming in -- new controller, same problem with "A" button bringing up game bar. Have an xbox so may try your solution tonight.
