Xbox game bar not updating on the windows store.

You need to make sure that windows, the windows store, xbox, and xbox game bar are all properly updated.

I checked and there was an update for Game Bar in Windows Store. When I downloaded it, a "xbox game bar" process appeared and there was another process named "xbox gaming overlay" which seems to be the startup animation for game bar. Apart from this process,
nothing changed and when I rebooted, this process disappeared.

However I didn't try to uninstall the latest update of Windows..

These steps can help you, give it a try.

Check for updates on Windows Update, update everything including optional/additional updates.

1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app

2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset. Do this for the Game Bar too.

3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.

4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.

5. Restart your PC, log in to both apps and see if that solves the problem.

If the problem persists, reinstall Game Bar.

Press the Windows key and select “Microsoft Windows PowerShell” (Admin)

Windows PowerShell command bar will open up

Enter the code

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Press enter and wait for a few seconds for the code to work. Close PowerShell and restart your PC. Open the Microsoft Store app, search for Game Bar in the store and install.

Hello Caden V, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you're experiencing issues with accessing the Xbox Game Bar on your Windows system, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check if Xbox Game Bar is enabled: Go to the Windows Settings by pressing the Windows key + I, then navigate to Gaming > Xbox Game Bar. Make sure the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" toggle switch is turned on.

Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Outdated system files can sometimes cause compatibility issues. Go to Windows Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates.

Reset Xbox Game Bar: Open the Windows Settings, then go to Apps > Apps & Features. Search for "Xbox Game Bar" in the list of installed apps. Select it and click on the "Advanced options" link. In the next screen, click on the "Reset" button to reset the Xbox Game Bar to its default settings.

Reinstall Xbox Game Bar: If resetting didn't work, you can try reinstalling the Xbox Game Bar. To do this, open the Microsoft Store app and search for "Xbox Game Bar." If it shows as "Installed," click on the ellipsis (...) next to the "Launch" button and select "Uninstall." Afterward, restart your computer and go back to the Microsoft Store to reinstall the Xbox Game Bar.

Best regards.
