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...

Thanks for the reply! I tried those two commands and they seemed to have no effect after rebooting.

They didn't do anything for me either. Just uninstall and reinstall the xbox app from the microsoft store. When I opened it, it showed me all the errors about missing stuff and installed it all instantly.

If you do have the Xbox app installed as I did just open it. You don't have to reinstall it. Launching shows errors at the top of the screen like they mentioned. The error will have a download button and it will be fixed from there.

This the one solution that absolutely worked. Thanks
