Completely disabling screen captures?

Hi Ferrymvn✔

There is a Forum post here that has a potential fix in the replies.

As far as the 1TB storage on the console, only a reserved amount is available for captures, not the whole 1TB.

If the reserved space is full you need to clear some captures from the Internal drive or purchase a External drive, format it to NTFS and set it to the console capture location.

How are you, mate?

Sadly, so far it is not possible to disable this button but a workaround that might help you is to disable the GAME DVR.

To disable Xbox Game DVR on your Xbox One, hit the Xbox button and head to Settings. Joystick down to ‘Preferences, then select ‘Capture & share’. Toggle the first option, ‘Allow game captures’, from ‘Captures by me or games’ to ‘Don’t capture’ to disable Xbox Game DVR. Alternatively, you can toggle this option to ‘Captures by me’.

You can completely disable the Game Bar if you go to your Windows Settings>Gaming, first thing you will see there is an option to be able to use the Game Bar for recordings ands friends, you can disable it. If you only want to diable recordings go to Settings>Gaming>Captures, there you will find an option to disable the Background Recording characteristic

Hi,

This is because of your console settings. Go to settings > preferences > capture & share. Then select ‘Allow game captures by me’ (or select ‘don’t capture anything’ if it’s easier to just disable it completely), as this automatically includes games by default. This feature is less common with more recent titles. You shouldn’t encounter this at all once these settings are correctly updated and applied.

You can also adjust other capture/share preferences from this screen, such as the storage location, weather game captures are automatically uploaded to Xbox Live, the maximum resolution and time limit.

Hope this helps.

my point was since xbox game bar is capable of screen capture can I just have it capture my screen i.e. just as a screen capture to show for instance where saves and files are or just screen capture on windows explorer to show where to move files...
etc not just for games
