Xbox Game Bar instantly crashes when trying to open settings tab

Spartacus2403 · Sep 28, 2019

Just like the title says, go to open settings so I can tell it what mic and speakers to use for chat so that maybe I could actually use an xbox live party and the program instantly crashes. Every. Single. Time. Anybody know where I manually hard code my
settings so I dont have to open the tab?

Well that's just it I cant even see what audio device the game bar wants to use because I click settings and then immediately head for audio and then it crashes.

Hi there,

if you have multiple options for audio devices, you can check this by clicking the speaker icon in task bar in bottom right corner and see if you can set a different device, try to see what happens when a different device is selected.

I myself experienced issues with audio/video playback when a certain headset related device was selected.

Let us know the results

THANOS OPRESSOR

I hope you can get the help of the people who already gave you the necessary links, I've been through this and it is really annoying to be configuring all the time.

I tried everything I could think of and that list doesnt have anything close to the issue on it. This is literally a coding issue that has a stability problem I should be able to interact with settings. I cant.
