Xbox game bar will not open no matter what I do (windows 10).

tr4shpanda · Jul 21, 2021

My xbox game bar has not been wanting to open. Whenever I go into windows settings and enable it, it will automatically turn off. I have looked at another thread (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...g-itself/d2ac27a5-ab01-4ee7-9593-d3f358a56bcd) where several users were having the same problem but got it fixed by doing the registry editor route. I tried that myself, doing all the steps in there to no avail.

If anybody has any advice on how to fix this, please tell me.

If it helps here are my specs:

Amd Ryzen 9 3900xt (cpu)

Amd Radeon 5700xt (gpu)

Asus TUF Gaming X750-Plus (motherboard)

What happens in many cases is that other software has been installed for the same screen recording function, and in these cases it is necessary to remove or other software.

Something about the app service may also be having a problem, try running this tool:

Hi

The Windows 10 Game Bar can be used to do what you've asked here. The Beta App's main function is to download Game Pass games (which actually download via the Windows Store).

To open the Game Bar hold the Windows key and press G, or press the Xbox button on an Xbox One or Xbox 360 controller.

Hello!

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The Windows logo key + G on a Windows 10 PC will open the game bar. Is the game bar not showing up on the screen when those buttons are pressed? The article entitled

Use Game Bar to Record Game Clips on Windows 10 will explain more about using the game bar. We recommend reviewing the article entitled

Hi Sam_343,

Thank you for the update. So now the Game bar is not working, but what specifically is not working? Is it just not recording anything, or is it not opening?
