    Xbox Game Bar won't open, even when trying to troubleshooting Options.


    Hello, i am having an Issue regarding the Xbox game bar. It suddenly does not want to start up anymore. It used to work just fine a couple days ago, but now neither Win+G (or other shortcuts) nor selecting the Xbox Game Bar app from Start boots it up at all. I already checked, and i turned the game bar on in the gaming settings of my PC, none of the Troubleshooting Options seemed to work at all, am i missing something!?

    :)

    Hello Cherry219,

    Thank you for your response.

    If you are still experiencing issues with the game bar after the troubleshooting steps.

    Please perform the methods below.

    Open PowerShell (admin)

    Run the command below

    [table][tr]
    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
    [/tr][/table]

    If you are running third party software like and FPS counter, Game boosters, anti virus and anti malware. Disable them.

    Make sure to update you graphics driver as well.

    Hello!

    • No Major Updates nor Changes were made, aside from downloading a few games on the Xbox App, which never really impacted the game bar before.
    • As to my knowledge there was no update to any of those recently, and aside from xbox games, i have no new programs installed.
    • Yes, my Windows was and is up to date, on Windows 11 Version 22H2, the last update was on the 21st of March.
    • I do believe i have the latest Version of the Game bar, as there is no Update prompt on the microsoft score.
