Windows 10: Microsoft’s Xbox Game Bar is crashing with error 0x803F8001

Xbox Game Bar for Windows 10 is full of useful features including a new resources monitor and it works really well. However, a recent server-side update is crashing the Game Bar with error 0x803F8001

The latest Windows 10 bug is going as far as blocking some users from accessing the Game Bar and its services. Several users have reached out to us and they reported the following error message:

Xbox Game Bar is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001.

Growing threads on Microsoft’s forum and Twitter confirm that something is wrong with Xbox Game Bar and users are reporting the problem for more than 10 hours at this point, but Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the outage.

Xbox Game Bar error 0x803F8001 is a result of a server-side change made on November 5 and it’s still affecting users across the world. The exact cause is unclear and it only affects Windows 10 version 1809 or newer. Also, only some users are getting the above error.

“I keep getting this message every time I attempt to open Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10,” one user noted in a Reddit discussion, and others have confirmed the outage as well.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy fix for those who are unable to access Xbox Game due to error code 0x803F8001.

You can uninstall the Game Bar and reinstall it from the Microsoft Store, but this will not resolve the problem. If you still want to reinstall Game Bar, open PowerShell with administrator privilege and run the following command:

• Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

To reinstall Xbox Game Bar, head to the Microsoft Store and click on the ‘Install’ button on its product page. Again, as we mentioned, this won’t address the crashes, which appears to be a result of a server-side change.

If you’re unable to access Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10, waiting for Microsoft to acknowledge the outage seems to be the only options at the moment. Most likely, Windows 10 maker will roll out a quick fix for this issue later today given how widespread the problem seems to be.
