Weird Pop-Up | Pirate Text Box - Gaming UI | PC

This happened to me immediately following the huge ~100 gb update. I put in a support ticket but they closed it immediately saying they didnt have a solution. I guess it's up to us to find a fix and I am out of ideas.

It took me awhile to notice... but the xbox logo briefly shows up in the box before it switches to the text input box. Is this a helpful clue? I looked around in the xbox game bar settings... but didnt see anything I thought was useful....

Has anyone found the fix for this?

I've looked through every menu option in the game bar and nothing appears to be applicable.

Also have this issue but only on my alt account, my main is unaffected. - Windows user

@stefmeistro

I can confirm... my main account is impacted using the windows store version.
When I play on the same account with steam, this does not happen.

Ok... I have been digging further... anyone have any updates or solutions yet?

I noticed that, when the popup is active, there is an app running in my Task Manager called "Gaming UI". This is related to another process in Task Manager called tcui-app.exe. These are both part of the Microsoft Gaming Service program that is also separately running.

When I go into add/remove programs and find "Gaming Services", I tried repairing and resetting. The only other option is to "terminate". When I select Terminate with the gaming UI box open in SoT, the gaming UI box goes away... but comes back again when I press T in game again.

Anyone able to use this to find and share a solution? Is there another menu for settings on "Gaming Services" that someone knows about?

I have this too and have no clue how to fix it, it's super annoying

@captainlogun same problem for me... i reinstall the game after 1 years and the tchat ingame (microsoft store) open ui xbox gaming service :( no issue

Any update? I sent like 2-3 requests and CS comes back with nothing, redirects me with audio issues and this is not definitely related with our mic. It is so annoying.

This is driving me crazy, sometimes crashing SoT when dropping me to desktop. Did anyone find a solution?
