Hello albert,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are having issues with the Xbox Game Bar's displayed details. This seems to be related to the account signed to Xbox or else the Xbox Game Bar has issues. Try the following troubleshoot below:

Update Windows 10.

• Install PC updates including Optional Update. Guide - Update Windows
  
• Select Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update .
  
• Restart device.
  
• Turn off or disable any antivirus, antimalware, VPN, firewall, proxy and PC Optimizer (or something like game accelerator).
  

Reset Xbox Game Bar app:

You can also try resetting the Xbox Game Bar app by following these steps:

1. Press Windows key + I to open Settings.

2. Click on Apps.

3. Scroll down and click on Xbox Game Bar.

4. Click on Advanced options.

5. Click on Reset.



Accounts on Xbox app and Microsoft Store:

• Some games like Minecraft will display error message about account does not match so, it is important that you can access and use the same account on these three apps - Xbox app, Xbox game bar and Microsoft Store.
  
• Ensure that you know your credential by signing into your account through this link: https://account.microsoft.com
  
• You may sign out and sign back in the account on these apps: Xbox app and Microsoft Store.
  
• Launch Xbox app before Xbox Game Bar to see if the account will load.

Ok thats what I thought but I dont realy understand the decision.

First of all: Wich App should I use now? The Xbox App or the Gamebar? There are two Apps installed on Windows that have the xbox Party Feature and both of them are lacking in different Features. In the beginning I used the Xbox App, but than oneday all Party
and Game Invitations only appeared for the Xbox Game Bar even when it was disabld in Windows-Settings. That made me switch to the Gamebar. In the Gamebar i was missing Features like seeing who is in a friends party and they adde back a private Voice chat like
on Xbox 360 wich made zero sense. on the Xbox App on the other hand I cant see my friends beeing in a party in the friendlist anymore, also it has no voice overlay and as I mentioned before I get all the Invites for the Game bar even if disabled.

Edit: Also I wanted to mention its still possible to start partys with the xbox app on PC, Smartphone and tablet so why removing the feature for PC players from the Gamebar?

found it is a popular issue on other forums, it is apparently gamebar causing it all the time and when gamebar is disabled it stops it completely, nothing psyonix can do about it, they say it is up to microsoft to fix gamebar. i have just disabled it as its useless anyway.

Hey Sengutso!

Sounds like you are having GameBar issues! Take a look at our Gamebar support articles:

Troubleshoot Game Bar on Windows 10

Keep in mind with updates sometimes certain features are made unavailable. This may not be the case in this instance but it is a possibility.

Let me know if this helps
