Xbox game bar doesnt want to start.

The story here is interesting that at first I thought I really did something wrong and the program will not run!
I came here to report my problem and I saw that not only in Microsoft but also in Reddit, a significant number of Users/Gamers have the same problem!

And I realized that no, it's not my problem! It is from Microsoft itself!

I hope it will be solved soon! I really need this app ...

facing the same problem. Tried calling on customer support multiple times but no satisfactory solutions.

getting this error when i try to take screenshot or screen-record via gamebar
"Game bar is currently not available in your account. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001

Please provide a solution to this issue which I am encountering from today. previously when i contacted with your executive he checked the system via QUICK ASSIST screen sharing and all is fine. He was transferring the call to the xbox department but wasn't
successful. Kindly provide me an appropriate solution to this problem asap.

thank you

i tried it and it doesn't work

Hello
Staf143Demonic,

Many people seem to be running into this problem lately.

I can give few suggestions, which would be:

• Terminating the application in Windows Settings then
  Apps => Xbox Game Bar => Advanced Options => Terminate and Reset
  (might need to be repeated a few times, I've got a feedback that it ran successfully after a few tried)
  
  
• Settings Date & Time to work fully automatically, as most of the time games and applications seem to have issues when you set it manually. Remember to
  Sync the time after you do so.
• Giving location permission might also solve the problem.

None of these solutions are guaranteed. I personally have not got that problem, unlike many others. It might just be better to wait for an update that will fix this issue.

Regards.

Hi Quintin, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

To fix this, please perform a power cycle on your console by following the steps below:

POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

​​​

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

If that didn't work resetting the console keeping games and apps will be the next option. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

Select Reset console.

Reset and keep my games & apps.
