xbox game bar issues
Hello, I want to ask, is there anyone who has a Xbox Game Bar problem? When I want to enter the setting menu suddenly the App Force Close I use Windows 10 Thank you for answering :)
Yes, this is a known type of Xbox Game Bar crash on Windows 10. Try these steps in order:
Repair/Reset Game Bar:
Settings → Apps → Apps & features → Xbox Game Bar → Advanced options → Repair. If that doesn't help, select Reset.
Update Windows and Microsoft Store apps:
Go to Windows Update and install all available updates. Then open Microsoft Store → Downloads and updates → Get updates
Reinstall Xbox Game Bar if it still crashes. Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage
Then reinstall Xbox Game Bar from the Microsoft Store.
If it still force-closes specifically when opening Settings, let us know your Windows 10 version/build (Win + R → winver) and we can troubleshoot further.
