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.

Thank you for your patience, I hope everything can be resolved. I will be attentive to your response. Blessings.

Sincerely,
Oskayra.

If it doesn't work at first, open task manager and stop Xbox, Gaming Services and Game bar, then do the rest for both Xbox and Gaming Services

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 It is possible that the application being out of date could have affected it.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!

In this case, please open the Xbox app and it should prompt you to install Game Bar.
