Hello DraketonE, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you're experiencing difficulty finding the clip sharing button in the Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11, here are some possible reasons and solutions:

Game Bar Update: There may have been an update to the Xbox Game Bar that has changed the location or way the clip sharing button is accessed. I would recommend checking if there are any updates available for the Game Bar and making sure you have the latest version installed.
Settings changes: There may have been changes to the Game Bar settings that affected the availability of the clip sharing button. Go to the Game Bar settings and check the options related to screenshot and video recording to make sure they are set correctly.
Game Compatibility: Some games may have specific restrictions or limitations on sharing clips. Check if the Ascended Ark Survival game has any restrictions on capturing and sharing clips. You can check the forums or the game documentation for more information on this.
Restart the Game Bar: Try restarting the Xbox Game Bar. Right-click the Game Bar icon in the taskbar and select "Close Game Bar." Then, reopen the Game Bar and check if the clip sharing button is available again.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards.

Hey Z3N3K

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with recording content.

If you haven't already, I recommend that you review the
Troubleshooting Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10 article and see if some of these techniques work for you.

Additionally, it would be worth trying to save your captures to a different location and see if that helps alleviate the message that states there is nothing to record.

To see where your captures are saved, open Game bar and select the My captures folder, or press the
Start button, choose Settings > Gaming >
Captures. Press the Open folder button to see your captures in File Explorer.

By default, game clips and screenshots are saved in your
Videos folder (named Captures). The Captures folder can be moved to different places on your PC.

There should also be a help link when you select Captures that says "How to save to a different folder".

I hope this is of some use to you.

The reason why I cannot do this is because my xBox Games Bar won't even open. Yes, I'm well aware that I could deinstall my captures but I cannot open the Game Bar when I'm playing a game. That is my question, how to fix that?
