    Xbox Game Bar doesn't open all the way?


    When I press Win+G, it only pops up a little rectangle with the time, game capturing and the audio. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, turn it off and back on, and I'm still not able to get all the overlays. There's no options to get the overlays either,
    so I'm stuck with this little screen. Help please

    :)

    Xbox Game Bar doesn't open all the way?

    Hello Zirds,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that the Xbox Game Bar is displaying a minimal amount of options when you open it with the shortcut. We recommend making sure that

    Windows 10 is up to date
    . It is possible that the application being out of date could have affected it. We have support articles on learning how to access

    the overlay menu
    and
    troubleshooting the Xbox Game Bar
    . Be sure to let us know the results!

    XBox Game Bar doesn't open

    Hello Charles And my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

    Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

    I am very sorry for the problem you are experiencing, I invite you to follow the steps suggested by Microsoft Support:

    If nothing happens when you press Windows logo key + G, check your Game Bar settings. Open the Start menu and select Settings > Game Bar > Games and make sure Enable Game Bar for things like recording game clips, chatting with friends, and receiving game invites is set to On.

    If the Game Bar doesn't appear for a full-screen game, try keyboard shortcuts: Press the Windows logo key + Alt + R to start recording a clip, then press it again to stop. You will see the screen flash as the recording begins and ends.

    For more information about the Game Bar, you can consult the following: https://support.xbox.com/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/troubleshoot-game-bar-windows#:~:text= Check%20the%20setting%C3%B3n%20of%20Game,G%20to%20open%20Game%20Bar

    Sincerely,
    Oskayra.
