    After a recent update, I can no longer record Spotify in the backround of my Win + G game ...


    Is there a way to play Spotify or some other music in the backround while Win+G is recording gameplay?

    :)

    Game Bar Won't Pop Up

    I am playing Star Trek Online and the Game Bar wont pop up. I used it twice in the game already, but it will no longer show no matter how many times I hit Win + G. The game recently went through an update, and I did close the game without properly stopping
    a recording. Could any of these be the cause? How can I remedy this issue so I can continue recording STO?

    Xbox DVR on PC not recording audio

    Hey forums. When I try to record a video game (World of Warcraft or osu!) there is no audio recorded. The audio is working 100% through my headphones and I'd like to record the music from my games.

    I set microphone array (realtek) to the default device through trouble shooting and tried using the "backround recording" feature, to no avail.

    Thanks in Advance

    Disturbing messages from Xbox app

    I think, during your trial to record, you may have hit the win+G button while a chrome window was active. This tells game bar to identify that app as a recordable game.

    The reason why the messages persisted after you logged out is because the xbox app is searate from game bar--the feature that records the screen.

    Clips frozen

    Hello, my name is Fernando, an independent consultant. Hope you are doing great. I will be more than happy to help you with your query today.

    Try these procedures:

    How to activate Windows Alt G?
    If enabled, you can use the shortcut Win + Alt + G to record clips of the last moments of the game. Although interesting, this function can affect the performance of games. Clips: In this option, the user defines the maximum capture time. How to activate Windows Alt R?
    Tip: You can directly start recording by pressing “Win+Alt+R”. 3. If the message “Game resources not available“ is displayed, check the option “Enable game resources for this app to record plays” so that it is possible to record the screen of the program/game in question.

    Hope I helped, see you soon!

    Halo Reach Steam Version Game bar not working to record clips

    Hi,

    I've only played Reach as the Windows Store version which does not have this issue. I would have thought that this game, with it's reliance on Xbox Live for multiplayer, would not have this issue. How odd...

    Does Game show when you press Win+G or the Xbox button if you use a controller?

    Regardless of the above, it's possible to record almost anything with Game Bar. Even games that don't support it can still be recorded. The work around is to just press the shortcut keys:

    Win+Alt+R - Start/stop recording

    Win+Alt+Print Screen - Take screenshot

    With the shortcut keys you can record almost anything on your screen, they don't even have to be games.

    Win+G to Record Error-Gaming Overlay

    Although Microsoft will most likely advise against it, the only thing that worked for me was reverting back to the previous settings for windows....everything else failed and was extremely frustrating! Good luck
