Xbox app not loading and xbox game bar social tab not loading continue

I made a post a while ago and i wasnt able to get back to it until recently

I said this:

I have had this issue for a while now. Whenever I try to open the xbox app, i am left with the black screen with the xbox logo pulsing in and out and at the bottom it says launching the xbox app but it never loads. For the xbox game bar whenever i try to load my social tab it says "This is taking longer than expected". Then at the bottom of the tab it has a retry button that doesnt work either.

Ive tried

reinstalling xbox app, gaming services, and the xbox game bar itself.

checking for updates for everything including windows updates

repairing and resetting the xbox game bar and xbox app aswell as gaming services.

Ive done everything and it seems like nothing will work at this point

i was replied to with this:
