The Issue
If you're on Windows, and you frequently use Microsoft's Xbox Game Bar (by default invoked with Win+G
), you may have encountered some bugs with it along the way.
These bugs include (but aren't limited to):
- audio bugs
- mic not working
- friends that are online don't show up as online
- friends not even showing up on friends list
- in party, you or someone else shows as 'Disconnected' or 'Connecting'
- can't join parties
- can't leave parties
and many many more...
The Fix - GitHub
A good way to fix the majority of these issues is to restart Xbox Game Bar. Unfortunately there are a few steps to take to restart Xbox Game Bar, such as going to the task manager and ending the task.
I've created a quick and easy solution to restart the Game Bar. Just by running the .exe, and pressing 'Restart Xbox Game Bar', the Game Bar will completely restart, and attempted to re-launch.
Steps to use the tool:
- Download the executable from here
- Run the executable
- When this window appears, click 'Restart Xbox Game Bar'
Your Xbox Game Bar has been restarted!
Thanks for reading :)
