Xbox Game Bar will not open, how can I fix this?

Thanks for trying. Have you already tried to switch to a local user or different PC user? If not yet, try it and let's see if it works on a different user.

No 3rd-party antivirus software. Followed that guide and with a clean boot and no 3rd party services Xbox Game Bar would still not open. Still unable to open the application.

I have already scoured that webpage to no avail. Nothing I do will open xbox game bar. In task manager I can see when I press win+G xbox game bar will appear as running and then immediately show as suspended. No current guide on the internet has solved my problem so far.

Got it. To further isolate the issue, please try to disable your 3rd party anti-virus software if you have one installed as it's possible it may be causing the service to suspend. You could also try disabling your firewall temporarily.

Alternatively, let's also try to perform a clean boot to disable 3rd party services and check if your Game Bar works fine without them running.
