Xbox Logo Button & Share Button on Windows 11

DeyyuZ96 ‎‎ ‎ · Sep 30, 2023

So I bought an Xbox "Core" Controller (which seems just to be either a newer or older revision of the Xbox Series X/S Controller that comes with a USB A to USB-C cable included) and I've at a friend that the Xbox Logo button opens up the Xbox Game Bar but on mine it does nothing.

And I've been wodnering if the Share button should do anything or not on Windows but again it does nothing. But this one doesn't bother me as I haven't tried on my friends controller.

These buttons don't do show up in Test Mde either.

I've updated the firmware and nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?
