Xbox game bar on PC seems to have randomly stopped functioning correctly after a few hours

try restoring and/or repairing in app settings, and see if you can uninstall.

Hello appreciate the reply,

• I've already tried checking my microphone and audio settings they all still work twhen this happens.
  
• The game bar doesn't require an update from what I can see, when windows done an update this started happening I think.
  
• I've double checked my network connection when this happened, it showed it as open and my download and upload speeds were the same still.
  
• I haven't tried reinstalling the application but I will try that and reply back here if I it fixes it or doesn't.
  

Edit: I've just checked and the uninstall bit is greyed out for uninstalling the game bar : https://i.imgur.com/T6b9ihI.png

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with the Xbox Game Bar on your PC. There could be several reasons why this might be happening, and it is difficult to determine the exact cause without more information.

Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Restart your PC: Sometimes a simple restart can help resolve issues like this.

Check for updates: Make sure that you have the latest version of the Xbox Game Bar installed. You can check for updates by going to the Microsoft Store and checking for updates there.

Reset the Xbox Game Bar: You can try resetting the Xbox Game Bar by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, selecting Xbox Game Bar, and then selecting Advanced options. From there, you can select Reset.

Check your microphone and audio settings: Make sure that your microphone is set up correctly and that the audio settings in the Xbox Game Bar are set to the correct input and output devices.

Check your network connection: Make sure that you have a stable network connection and that you are not experiencing any issues with your router or modem.

If none of these steps help, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Bar to see if that resolves the issue. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, selecting Xbox Game Bar, and then selecting Uninstall. Once the Xbox Game Bar is uninstalled, you can reinstall it from the Microsoft Store.

Although it started after recent Xbox and Game Bar app updates there is no known fix on PC, sometimes it will randomly start working but then stops again, probably a cloud issue.

I feel the same but mine randomly stopped disconnecting me but then re starts after a few hours very frustrating
