    Xbox Game Bar PC Not starting properly


    It's been fine the last few days, but whenever I press the key to open it (WIN+G) It locks my mouse so I can't interact with anything on my desktop or in game however the game bar never actually appears. When I press the key to open it again, my mouse
    will return to normal.

    Does MS seem to have limited purse strings?

    I'd love to use the game bar in pc games, it be good to share screen shots with friends on xbox. The thing just doesn't work properly in full screen though. I managed to take a screen of a game on pc through the game bar, when I went to share it, it just
    came up as not recognised. Think it was the witcher.

    Xbox App / Gamebar doesn't send notifications when unlocking an achievement.
