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...
You can do this by searching for "Microsoft Store" in the Start menu or by typing "msstore" in the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
This doesn't work for me for some reason, I'm on a PC running windows 11, when I go to the Microsoft store and enter the MS-gamingoverly in to search box I get no such program exists.
Try installing the Xbox app and opening it. Installing it may fix it but if you open the app it'll check and find the missing file and offer you a download button. I had the Xbox app installed and removed ms-gamingoverlay by accident, after opening the Xbox app the button to download it was at the top. Hopefully that's the ticket for you!
