Gamebar "capture" settings crash immediately on click. Capture options greyed out.

Hi,

I am on Windows 11 Pro 22000.556

I wanted to use gamebar to clip some stuff or record.

Both those options are greyed out and when clicking the capture settings button in settings app the whole app crashes. I also tried using registry and gpedit to no use. When I check in gamebar's settings it shows that "Record in background while I'm playing a game" is disabled but when i go to enable it it crashes and i have to close it. Please help.

:)

Then it could be that your hardware doesn't support those features or you need to restore your OS

I've just done the restore to the time from before I noticed the issue. It seems to have done nothing to my issue as it couldve been there all along and I never would've realised as I never used gamebar

You can try the recovery options of Windows, as it could be a system issues
