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.

patient.)

It's astonishing how this hasn't been fixed ever since the game bar came out. Please Microsoft, do something. It's infuriating to stop playing the game and open game bar just to tell my friends important information of location of enemy, or such.

Even then, it crashes pretty frequently when I have to open game bar to talk to friends.

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!

None of your solution worked but I figured it out. Got the it from here https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-remove-an-app-from-the-game-dvr-games-list-in-windows-10/

Solution

Open Chrome

Press Windows + G to bring up Game Bar or select Game Bar from Start Menu

Go to settings in Game Bar

Unselect "remember this is a game"

Go back to the my games list on Xbox App and Chrome will be removed

Not sure related or unrelated but Amazon Prime Video on Chrome would crash in full screen mode when Chrome viewed as a game. But now it doesn't crash. Again, not sure if it was related or just a coincidence.

Thanks.

Hi alkhe

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue. In order to do so, can you please explain in more detail what happens when you open the game bar? The Xbox game bar is an overlay that should appear over the game while
it is in fullscreen. Are you saying that when you press Win + G while the game is running in fullscreen mode, that the Game Bar opens but closes the game? Does the game crash completely or does it just minimize the window?

Please answer those questions for us and add any other information that would be helpful and we will be happy to further troubleshoot the issue.
