Hello everyone,

I’m having a problem with the Game Assist widget. When I try to install it in Microsoft Edge, nothing happens and it does not install at all.

I’m using Windows 11 Pro 25H2, build 26200.8457. I already have the latest version of Microsoft Edge and Game Bar installed. I also tried repairing the apps through the Windows Settings app, but the issue is still there and nothing works.

Things I already tried:

  • Updated Microsoft Edge
  • Updated Game Bar
  • Repaired the apps in Settings
  • Restarted my PC

Unfortunately, the widget still will not install.

Has anyone experienced this problem before or knows how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
