    Game bar in verified full screen games does not work when SLI enabled


    Hi i like to use the xbox game bar to record and take screen shot in windows 10, some games the game bar works in full screen, like assassins creed origin. i have been having some trouble with it not working like it should when i have two graphic cards installed
    (gtx 1080 ti) in SLI. i have to disable SLI to get the game bar working again in full screen. i can see this is a bug. since i have done just about every thing eles to fix this, from reinstalling windows to trying different drivers, changing security settings,
    updating drivers, rolling back drivers, disabling other overlays, . if any one has a solution to fix this or i can report this as a bug that would be great.

    :)

  2. Home Button of X Box One controller makes screen flash.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem on my laptop with windows 10 creator update.

    I think that it does this thing when game does not support "Game Bar" in full screen.

    After I do not know if it activates a few things ...

    When a game supports "Game Bar" game bar open and when a game not supports "Game Bar" screen have a flash screen.

    I found this for "Game Bar" game support : List of games with Game Bar support for full-screen mode

    I hope someone will be more for explanation why there is this "flash screen".

    I can't find the Game mode switch

    Follow the steps here for a possible solution:

    Step 1: Check that the Game Bar and Game Mode are enabled in Windows 10

    First, you need to double check that the Game bar feature is enabled in Windows 10. To do that, open the Settings app and go to Gaming -> Game bar.

    There, make sure that you set the switch that says: Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar to On. Also, it is a good idea to enable the setting that says: Show Game bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified.

    Step 2: Set and use different keyboard shortcuts for the Game Bar, that don’t involve the Windows key

    Some games may block the use of the Windows key and therefore, each time you press it, it is ignored. As a result, if you press Windows + G to show the Game bar on the screen, nothing happens. Microsoft provides a way for you to set your own shortcuts, that
    don't include the Windows key. Read and follow this guide to learn how to change the keyboard shortcuts for the Game bar and all its features: 2 ways to change the keyboard shortcuts for the Game Bar in Windows 10.

    Step 3: Set your game to run in a window, instead of taking the whole screen

    Most games for Windows run in full-screen mode and they don’t have built-in support for the Game bar and/or Game Mode. This is especially true for games that were developed prior to April 2017, when these features were first made available in Windows 10. However,
    if you run them in a window, instead of full-screen, then you will be able to show the Game bar on the screen and use it to enable the Game More, take screenshots, record videos and more.

    Flight Simulator 2020, will SLI - NVlink be supported?

    Are you sure the game is actually using both cards? I run it with SLI configured with two 2070 Super and SLI enabled but I can see only one card working. Please double check it with MSI Afterburner overlays or something similar. Having SLI enabled and
    a game that "works" does not means that it's using both cards. Thanks in advance!

    Does MS seem to have limited purse strings?

    I'd love to use the game bar in pc games, it be good to share screen shots with friends on xbox. The thing just doesn't work properly in full screen though. I managed to take a screen of a game on pc through the game bar, when I went to share it, it just
    came up as not recognised. Think it was the witcher.
