Game Bar screen recording randomly stopped and didn't save file

RoriScarlet · May 7, 2020

I was screen recording a game with Game Bar on my laptop and it was working fine for 2 hours. Not even a minute before I was going to stop the recording it randomly stop and an error came up. It quickly disappeared but I think it was "Recording isn't working:
Error 2184327175". Is there a way to retrieve this file as it is a real nuisance that it is now lost. And how do I stop this from happening again?

:)

Yes it does! I've recorded up to 25 minutes before. This was the longest time I had recorded though (2 hours) and I have plenty of room for it to save.

Ah this is annoying!

It sounds like there is an issue with the save location of your file.

If you record some short 1-2min footage does the game footage save as expected?

I assume by the 'playback feature' you mean the record time? The Windows Game Bar maximum record time that can be set is 4hrs. This can be changed in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures.

The Windows Game-Bar uses a video recording codec that requires the file to be finalised in order for it to be saved. This means that either if the recording is stopped via the Game Bar or the recording ends on its own once the maximum time is reached, the file should save. If for some reason there a fault or a system crash, the video recording won't save as it won't complete the 'finalising' process.

So I was recording with the xbox game bar and I forgot to stop it and I closed the computer and left it running for an hour. When I opened up the computer, the recording was stopped but I didn't see the recording in my captures. Where did it go and how do I find it?

It may have gotten deleted by accident due to it being turned off it did not save the video file.
