    Xbox Companion App and Game Bar Issues


    I've always had trouble with the new game bar such as it crashing when joining a party. Now, this issue is the same with the companion app. Every time I join a party, it crashes without an error code. Even if i were to start a party, it would still crash. I've done everything i can, redownloading, updating graphics drivers, updating windows and the app, and terminating, repairing, and resetting the entire app with windows settings.

    :)

  2. Xbox Game Bar

    My run down to fix my specific problem went as follows.

    (Will include the accident)

    So I ran the powershell as admin, ran the command to uninstall the xbox app.

    Didn't work

    Ran it again, but accidentally ran two powershells simultaneously with the same command and it removed my xbox-PC authentication program thing as well as my console companion logging me out of my xbox PC (Beta)

    So I got my settings back to what I initially had them at (Just turned on my FPS counter)

    Ran powershell + command string 1 singular time, rebooted my PC and reinstalled the xbox app/accessory apps. Before launching my game I opened the win+G game bar and opened my performance tab and clicked the little ziggy line option button since it's not a
    gear wheel Idk what to call it, a slider lines?

    Anywhoo, unchecked FPS counter to remove it from the performance tab (I had previously tried when you first showed me the powershell trick) but this time after following the steps of

    Windows Powershell Admin ran the string below

    Get-AppxPackage *xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Rebooted PC

    Reinstalled game bar and the companion app as well as my xbox-PC login software.

    Opened up my game bar before launching my game

    took FPS counter off of my performance monitor via setting check list.

    Game is now gudd, thank you Greg.

    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    Issues with saving your video clips or using the Game bar on Windows 10 are possibly caused by an outdated Xbox app or a corrupted folder on Windows Explorer.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.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reply to this post anytime.
