I don't know if these 3 issues are related, since I am really bad with technology, I'm going to provide as many details as i can.
Xbox Game Bar: when I open a computer game, i used to get a blue popup message saying "this app cant open, check the microsoft store for more info". but now i get a message saying "you'll need a new app to open this ms-gaming overlay". ive tried resetting the app, repairing the app (both resetting and repairing in settings just lead to a never ending loading circle though), and have tried several fixes i saw online, such as uninstalling. however i dont know where to reinstall, or if it will be fixed even if i do so. plus the microsoft store issue below.
Microsoft store: I am unable to open the app. ive tried opening it from everywhere. for example, when searching for it after clicking the windows logo, or the taskbar search, clicking "open" does nothing. ive tried some assorted fixes for this too. ive tried updating, restarting, etc.
Snip and Sketch: I normally use this app often, using windows+shift+s to take a quick screenshot. but recently i can take a single screenshot, then no matter how long i wait, pressing windows shift s again, i am unable to reopen the screen snip. i need to go to the task manager, then end "task screen snipping" to be able to use it again. every time i wanted to use it.
I have honestly tried so many online fixes, i am out of ideas and things to try. I sort of miss being able to record funny game clips with the xbox game bar. anything helps. if you need any more information on something, just tell me how to get to said information. all these issues have been going on for months, so i have restarted my computer and tried to preform so many fixes i cant even really remember what i tried. thanks for the help!
