accessing the win 10 game bar

macroAddict · Aug 16, 2019

My OEM keyboard broke so I bought another one, but it doesn't have a windows logo key. I need to access the game bar but it requires pressing win + G, and all the shortcuts use win + various letters....is there another way to access the game bar or must
I buy another keyboard that has the win logo?

hi there,

you can actually change the shortcut

Settings > Gaming > game bar & there input your new shortcut

Hello Marco,

Thank you for posting her eon the Xbox forums. The windows key brings up the start menu on your pc so, do you have a key on your new keyboard that does the same thing? If so, you can try using that key + g to bring up the gamebar as well as other functions.

*"If your keyboard doesn’t have the Windows logo key built in, create a custom keyboard shortcut to open Game Bar. Press the
Start button, select Settings >
Gaming > Game bar, then enter a new shortcut."

*This information was found here : What should I do if Game Bar and shortcuts aren’t
working?

Hope this helps!

Hi macroAddict,

sorry to hear.

As far as I know, you could rewrite all shortcuts (works in pro). For Home Edition there are some apps for this.

Hope this help

I had problems only on Win 10 app, but I'm just using Xbox Game Bar so it's solved and on Android or WP it hasn't happened to me..
