Game Bar and Xbox app conflict withneach other so bad. Once I installed Game Bar i had to remove Xbox App. But in the last two weeks Game Bar is working really bad. It refuses to let me join party chats. I send invites to party chat as well do not work.
I tried to go back to xbox app since i can not tolerate half working software, and now Xbox app half works. No notification comes up at all for Xbox app but Game Bar persists even when i shut it of. I wanted uninstall Game Bar but you cant.

If the "Uninstall" button for the Xbox Game Bar app is grayed out and unclickable, it may mean that the app is currently running or that you do not have the necessary permissions to uninstall it. Here are some steps you can take to try and uninstall the app:

Close Xbox Game Bar: If Xbox Game Bar is currently running, try closing it first. Right-click on the Xbox Game Bar icon in the taskbar and select "Close window" or use the Task Manager to end the process.

Disable Xbox Game Bar: If you don't want to uninstall Xbox Game Bar but just want it to stop popping up on start, you can disable it instead. Press Windows key + G to open the Xbox Game Bar, click on the Settings icon, and toggle off the "Open Xbox Game Bar using this button on a controller" and "Remember this as a game" options.

Uninstall with PowerShell: If the above steps do not work, you can try using PowerShell to uninstall the app. Here's how:

a. Press Windows key + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

b. Type the following command and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Uninstall with third-party software: If none of the above steps work, you can try using a third-party uninstaller software to remove the app. There are many free uninstaller tools available online that can help you remove unwanted programs.
