    Xbox game bar not opening on pc when hitting the Xbox logo on controller


    Anybody else having an issue with their Xbox game bar not opening on their pc via their controller? I can still open the gamebar by windows key + g but nothing on my controller. When somebody invites me to their party, I can’t just hold down on the xbox logo and I have to manually join the party. I checked all the settings to troubleshoot this issue and still nothing. I got my pc optimized and they turned off capturing and I wonder if this has anything to do with it. I am wondering if anyone else had/has the same issue and if they were able to fix it.

    Xbox Game Bar

    Hi BrittonP.

    The Xbox Gamer Bar works as a monitor to visualize some options within the game. this is why it closes. If you use an Xbox controller to play on the PC, with the button that has the Xbox logo (guide button) you can open the Game Bar with a single click, basically
    it's just a popup menu.

    Elite controller series 2 issue

    Strange not having any updates, anyway check if by disabling the Xbox game bar the problem stops happening, for that follow the instructions below, please.

    Go to Windows Settings

    Games

    Xbox Game Bar

    Deactivate it

    Uncheck the box to open the Xbox game bar with the Xbox button on the controller as well.

    If the problem persists, use a cable to plug the controller into your PC, open the accessories application and restore your elite controller settings to defaults, restart your PC and see if the problem persists.

    Not able to record using xbox game bar

    Hi, If nothing happens when you press the Windows logo key + G, check your Xbox Game Bar settings. Open the Start menu, and select Settings > Gaming and make sure Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Xbox Game Bar are On.

    Xbox controller not opening xbox gamebar on windows 11

    Hi Kathy

    I have done everything you suggested and my controller still will not open the Xbox game bar. It will open with Windows + G but not my controller. When I first connect my controller it will open the game bar but after that it does nothing.

    Thanks

    Carl
