    Can't turn on game bar


    I am not at all sure that this is the best forum for my question...if not, please move it and let me know!

    I am trying to use the XBox app to record screen video. From all I have read this should be easy but I can't start the game bar. When I press Win-G; either nothing happens or I get a message that the recording can't be saved, check to see that the folder
    allows files to be saved.

    So, if I start settings and go to Gaming and then to Game Bar there is a switch to turn recording on or off. Mine is set to Off. I can set it to On. Then if I simply go to Game DVR and then return to Game Bar, the switch is now Off. In other words, I
    can't seem to turn the recording switch on and have it stay on; it is automatically turning off.

    I've tried searching the internet for this problem but have seen a lot of posts about how to turn recording on and off, how to uninstall XBox, etc. but nothing that addresses my problem.

    From everything I've read, using the XBox game bar is the most convenient way to do screen captures and video captures but I just can't seem to get around this issue.

    I hope it's just something simple I'm overlooking.

    :)

    how to uninstall xbox game bar

    Hi there,

    as far as I know you can't uninstall the game bar itself, but you can turn it off, in the settings search for gamebar (or the translation if PC is running a different language) and you should be able to find Game bas settings, the top option will allow you
    the disable the game bar, which will result in Windows+G won't open the game bar.
