  • **We fixed an issue from the previous build where when Xbox Game Bar was launched from Start or via the Windows key + G when using a text editor, the computer might appear unresponsive.**
  • Build 21292. I've NEVER had this problem, but NOW when launching Microsoft Solitaire The Xbox Game Bar now launches midscreen and clicking on anything does not work. Even doing a Ctrl Alt Delete to pull up Task Manager to end Task, it will pull up but unable to click on End Now.
  • Have to do a Ctrl Alt Delete and then restart my computer.
  • Sorry I have no pics of this cause I can't get to screen snip since my computer is completely stalled until I restart. Please fix this !

    As CK said, please log it in Feedback Hub and share the link. The fix for this issue was supposed to be in this build, but it appears it may not have made it.

    I have precisely the same problem with my 32 bit 21292.

    If you will post your link I can add to it.

    This showed up on one of mine. I used win + x to open the right click start menu, then used the arrows to select restart. On restart I turned the game bar off in settings.

    Well done. My mouse/keyboard would not do that. I managed to open Task manager but then nothing else would work. There is no option to uninstall Game Bar in Start and in Settings it is greyed out and inoperable.

    Today I booted the PC and with my first window Xbox game Bar reappeared again ( this is after yesterday using PowerShell to remove it ). Today I was able to restart and the Game bar did not reappear again. Windows had reinstalled the Game Bar. Store even asked to update it.

    Used PowerShell and removed it again.
