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:

1. Download the executable from here
2. Run the executable
3. When this window appears, click 'Restart Xbox Game Bar'

Your Xbox Game Bar has been restarted!

Thanks for reading :)
