I'm sorry to hear you're running into this!
You can try the following and see if it helps with your situation:
- Repair or reset Xbox Game Bar Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Xbox Game Bar → Advanced options → click Repair, then Reset if needed.
- Reinstall Gaming Services
- Open PowerShell as admin
- Run:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers - Restart and reinstall from Microsoft Store
- Update everything
- Windows Update
- Microsoft Store (Library → Get updates)
- Xbox app / Game Bar
- Check for conflicts
- Disable overlays (Discord, MSI Afterburner, etc.)
- Ensure firewall is not blocking Game Bar services
As a workaround, you can also try creating/joining LFG from the Xbox app instead of Game Bar.
Hope this helps. Feel free to update here if anything comes up!
