Xbox PC App Keeps Asking Me To Install Xbox Game Bar

Try this then, since they're installed, you will uninstall it via powershell and then open the Xbox app and it will ask you to install it again automatically within the app, ok?

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

Hey Joseph thanks for reaching out.

Yes I download the Xbox app from this xbox website https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-pc.

I installed the app using their xboxinstaller.exe installer.

I think its installed in C drive, the installer just run itself and never once allow me to select which drive to install the app.

On the question of game bar download issue, I found that when I first notice xbox app uninstall itself, the "Xbox game bar" would not work.

Every time I press Win+G a window would pop up saying "you'll need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay link" and it make me go look it up at

microsoft store. Even when I have Xbox app downloaded Xbox game bar would not work.

When I try to download it from the store, it would get stuck on download.

Hello again: If it still doesn't work, you're going to uninstall the game services using a powershell command, then open the gamepass app, ask you to download and install the game services again:

On the Windows search bar, type Powershell > right-click and select Open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, ask you to reinstall the game services, install it, and try again.

If none of those procedures work, try to restore your PC's operating system via iso image tool, using that tool you will be able to keep your games and files installed

Xbox companion app is discontinued, and the "Party Invitations" and "Games" notification settings are nonexistent in the Xbox PC app. Settings for invites and messages are all on the Game Bar app for PC.

You'll just have to make sure these settings are checked after reinstalling the game bar @ (Game Bar)Settings>Notifications>Xbox Social>Notify me when I'm invited to a party or multiplayer game

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command:

"get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers"

Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox game pass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it, and try again.
