    I've already tried reinstalling the game bar, xbox app and gaming services. Deleting all the files related to the xbox services in windowsapps. Checking for updates. Ran sfc /scannow, attempted using the windows troubleshooter. NOTHING works and I'm beyond frustrated. Please help!

    :)

    Xbox Game Bar loads but crashes when I try to join a party with the following event

    Hello,

    Can you confirm that the versions of your apps:

    Xbox Game Bar: 5.721.12013.0

    Xbox App: 2202/1000.6.0

    Gaming Services: 3.61.31001.0

    Can you also confirm that you have the latest version of Windows 11 installed on your PC? The latest update should be 2202-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems January 11, 2022—KB5009566 (OS Build 22000.434).

    I only ask for confirmation so I can make sure I understand the state the PC is in since you've confirmed that youhave the updates so I can see if I can repro this on my own device with similar updates and apps.

    Can you also confirm in Settings > Aps > Apps & Features > Xbox Game bar that the option for Microphone is on, and either repair or reset options have not worked.

    Can you also go into the Xbox Game Bar, Go the setting using the gear icon, choose Feedback (the last option) and choose "Show Diagnostic info" and share that here please without exposing any personal information.

    Thank you,

    I have used powershell to uninstalled and reinstall the application.
