    Xbox game bar crashes when I try to open gallery


    Sometimes win+G works, sometimes it doesn't. When it do it'll crash when I'll try to open the screenshots gallery. I tried following tutorials of how to fix it using regedit and I even reinstalled it using Windows Terminal but it still doesn't work. I don't know how can I fix it.

    After it crashes I can try to restart it in the settings but it works only until I'll try to open the gallery and it will crash again.

    :)

    Xbox game bar crashes when I try to open gallery

    Have you tried changing your gallery folder path? I would suggest you to please move it to another location, restart your computer and see if the issue persists.
    I don't know why, but it did help! When I moved it to another localization it opened and I was able to open the gallery but it was stuck on loading things but when I closed the game bar by spamming win+G I moved all the screenshots and videos from that captures folder to another and now it opens without any troubles!

    Xbox Game Bar Crashing When Open

    Hello, it is a pleasure to help you.

    You can try using the WINDOWS + G keyboard shortcut to open the Xbox game bar.
    Go to PC Settings ➡ Games ➡ Game Bar and check that you have everything in order and that your shortcuts work.

    The game bar may take time to appear.

    If this doesn't work, you can click here to open a troubleshooter.

    However, if you continue to experience the issue, click here to contact support and get personalized assistance. (Microsoft currently has too many queries, please be
    patient.)

    LFG Crashing when I try to post

    Hi Team,

    When I try to post on LFG using the XBox Game Bar, the game bar crashes.

    But if I join other people's LFG, it works fine without crashing.

    Help would be appreciated.
    Update: I reinstalled the Xbox Game Bar (using
    this article
    ) and now it works! Thanks for all the help!
