Reinstalling the Microsoft Gaming Overlay
Hi! Some time ago, I uninstalled the Microsoft Gaming Overlay - I think it was the overlay used by the Xbox Game Bar (win+G to bring it up). I am trying to reinstall it, but I can't figure it out...
Yes, you can easily reinstall the Microsoft Gaming Overlay (Xbox Game Bar) using PowerShell. Here’s how:
Open PowerShell as Administrator:
Press Windows + X and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
Run the following command to reinstall the Xbox Game Bar:
get-appxpackage *Microsoft.XboxApp* | remove-appxpackage
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *Microsoft.XboxApp* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
This command should reinstall the Xbox Game Bar and restore the Microsoft Gaming Overlay. Once done, restart your PC, and you should be good to go!
Let me know if it works for you!
This worked for me, thx
