Windows 10: Xbox bar cannot open.

I like playing games, and of course, that comes with times id like to record.It used to work fine, but now whenever i use the key bind, all i get is "app cannot open, for more info look in the microsoft store"it also comes with it randomly attempting to turn on whenever i open game. I never messed with the files, and I've searched online but all they said is "turn the bar on", went in the settings, its switched on, still cant open. I went to the store and it says that its downloaded, and then when i try and open it there, it asks me "what app do you want to open this with?"

Cannot open Xbox App game bar

Hi Jamie,

Issues with saving your video clips or using the Game bar on Windows 10 are possibly caused by an outdated Xbox app or a corrupted folder on Windows Explorer. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you move your saved video clips to another folder within
the PC. The next saved videos will automatically go to the new folder.

If the issue persists, reset Windows Store to clear the store cache. Then, uninstall and reinstall the Xbox App to manually update it by following the steps below:

To reset Windows Store:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.   
• Click on Command prompt (Admin).   
• Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.   

To update the Xbox App:

• Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.  
• Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.  
• Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage  
• Hit Enter.  
• Launch Windows Store and download Xbox App.  

You can also sign in to another use to isolate if there is an issue with your profile.
