Windows 10

Is Microsoft already slowly turning off the gamers' Windows 10 experience? The Xbox Game Bar, which is essential for gamers with an AMD Ryzen X3D with dual CCDs, is now crashing reproducibly.

Windows 10 officially reaches its end of support on October 14, 2025, but is Microsoft already slowly turning off the tap for players? who is responsible for the CPU department, has found out that the Xbox Game Bar, which is essential for players with an AMD Ryzen X3D with more than one CCD ("Core Complex Die"), crashes under Windows 10 as soon as you want to configure it by clicking on "Options".

Xbox Game Bar doesn't want anymore! But why?

In his forum post, our technical editor, who uses a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and wanted to configure his CPU via the Xbox Game Bar, explains that the app has recently stopped working properly under Windows 10 Enterprise.

Recently, the Xbox Game Bar has stopped working properly for me. This is important for me because I use an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and I am dependent on Windows to recognize a game as a "game" so that the load is correctly shifted to CCD0

The Xbox Game Bar can be opened as usual, but a configuration of the app by clicking on "Options" ends with a crash of the application and an error code 0xc0000005. Also, various solutions that were developed together with the community from the sheroking forum did not result in the result Dave wanted.

Well. Windows remade. All in vain. The Xbox Game Bar still doesn't want to. So it is official, it no longer runs under Windows 10 Enterprise.

The problem was also detected on two other systems, a desktop PC with Intel Alder Lake and Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and another system with Windows 10 Enterprise. The Xbox Game Bar crashes reproducibly on all three systems as soon as you want to configure the application.

Since I can now prove it on three different PCs, it's official: 

Microsoft has unofficially turned off the tap for Windows 10. You can't find anything about it anywhere. A mess in my eyes.

The editors of Shero King would like to draw on the swarm intelligence of the community from the Sheroking forum and find out what experiences you have recently had with the Xbox Game Bar under Windows 10? Do you have a solution?
