Feature request: New shortcut to open Xbox Game Bar

[fabiopinho]

I've unsuccessfully tried mapping the Steam button to open the Xbox Game Bar while in X360 Mode. Please create a new shortcut for this option.

Hmm. But this works already. What did you do?

Well that's weird. I've checked every setting about opening the Xbox Game Bar using the Xbox button on controller. Everything seems to be ok, but the bar only opens when I press the Win + G shortcut using the virtual keyboard. It doesn't work with the Steam button neither on Desktop or X360 Mode.

Did you look at something like this https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-new-app-ms-gamingoverlay-error/?

btw. it will only work in X360 mode as only this emulates controller

[fabiopinho]

It didnt work. Checked every suggestion and everything was already set. Maybe there's some bug? It only works by using Win+G shortcut

The same thing happened to me, look in the configuration of the bar that is activated for the xbox controller

@fabiopinho Do you happen to have X360 or XOne controller and could try to check if it is triggered on this?

[fabiopinho]

Tried everything and nothing worked. Pressing the Xbox button on a controller didn't work either. So I formatted my drive, reinstalled everything from scratch and now its working as intended.

Sorry for opening this issue and thanks for the help @ayufan !
