Xbox Game Bar for PC keeps crashing a lot after the most recent update

Hello everyone, 

I just recently reset my Windows 10 because I had a lot of issues with the Game Bar app and thought that would help and keep it from crashing frequently. It did kinda fix the problem in a way that I was finally able to join game and chat party consistently with very few crashes, but after the most recent update from yesterday, the app is almost unusable and I suspect it's also causing me to disconnect from the game (Forza Horizon 4).

Windows version: v1903 (18362.295)

Xbox Game Bar version: 3.32.29001.0

Basically what happens is that every time I open the app either through controller or Win+G keys, app crashes. It works on the second attempt, so I can try and join the group party/chat, but if I bring it up again, it will crash. Over and over again. I'm also randomly getting disconnected from the group call and have a lot of problems joining, it keeps reporting an error with my network but everything seems to work fine. Only after I try to join like 20+ times will I get in. In that process, Xbox Game Bar app would crash every second time and make it a horrible experience to even use. 

Is there any way I can revert to an older version of the app? Or is there some other workaround I could try to fix it? Everything I've read online so far hasn't helped me at all, resetting the app doesn't fix the problem at all. 

Thanks.

Try reinstall the Update

Hi Ricardo. How exactly can I reinstall the app? Uninstall button is greyed out and I only have three options: Terminate, Repair & Reset.

Sometimes it locks up when giving the Windows+G command.

You can bring it up directly it settings and that should fix it.

Unfortunately it happens all the time, it doesn't matter what I bring it up with. However, it looks like Repairing the app fixed the problem for now. I'll update the thread if it starts happening again soon.

Thanks for all the responses!

I have the same issues right now on November 04 2019, all recently updated after a fresh Windows 10 install, It crashes randomly. Sometimes It creates a crashdump file, sometimes not, but always Is recorded on Event Viewer. I thouht even is a hardware issue because Gears 5 also crashed. I raised my SOC Voltage on BIOS up to 1.15 V with offset of 0.075 V to get my system full stable, but the app still crashes.
