  1. Xbox Game Bar on PC causing keyboard issues.


    Hey everyone,

    I’ve been having issues with game bar on pc. It only occurs on certain tiles.

    The issue is after opening game bar with win+g and closing it with win+g, it glitches my keyboard or something. So if I press W to move, it tabs out the game and opens the little news tab on the left side of the windows task bar. If I press R it will open up the run prompt.

    It completely inhibits my ability to do anything on my computer with my keyboard until a restart is performed. Has anyone ever had this issue before ?

    Thanks.

    Xbox Console Companion Keyboard Works Roughly 5% of the Time

    this reply does not help because it does not fix the issue of not being able to use the keyboard on PC, because you need to connect the keyboard to the Xbox to make it work. Is there a workaround to make it show up, or is it a lost cause?

    Should Overwatch get keyboard and mouse support?

    Hey I don't see why it shouldn't. The game is excellent for the keyboard and mouse. Mostly every game is designed for keyboard and mouse cause they start on PC.

    How to Show yourself online or Offline on PC ..

    Hi,

    While it can be done via the companion app, the quickest way is via the Windows Game Bar via
    Xbox Social. You can access the Game Bar in either of two ways:

    With an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the Xbox button.

    Without a controller via the keyboard, you can access it by holding down the
    Windows Key
    and pressing G on the keyboard.

    Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the
    Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the
    Overlay Menu, next to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.

    A few questions before buying an XBOX 360

    [quote user="Hefty Dumps"]Are you sure, IceStorm?[/quote]Yes.
    on PS3
    Sony can do whatever they want.



    Microsoft explicitly bars keyboards and mice from use on the 360 for game play.
    Surely if anything it's a game-specific feature.
    No. Keyboard/Mouse are barred from the platform.



    The 360 is a console. It is not a PC.

    xbox console companion- how to stop console companion from displaying what i'm doing

    Hi,

    You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
    tap G on the keyboard.

    Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
    Xbox button.

    Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
    to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.
