How to change data rate of recording with xbox game bar?

Thank you for double-checking that, the setting I mentioned isn’t inside the Xbox Game Bar itself. Here’s what I meant:

To change how Game Bar records or recognizes apps, you’ll need to go into Windows Settings, not the Game Bar overlay.

Here’s how to get there:

Press Windows key + I to open Settings

Go to Gaming > Captures

From here, you can adjust recording options like background recording, capture audio, and video frame rate

Also, try this:

Go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics settings

Scroll down and click “Graphics performance preference”

Find the app you want Game Bar to focus on (like a game EXE), then click Options and set it to High performance

Restart your PC after saving

This helps Windows prioritize which app gets GPU focus — Game Bar will sometimes lock onto whichever window Windows thinks is the "main" one, and browsers often take over that slot.

Let me know how it goes, and I can walk you through anything that’s confusing.

Hi Enlopz. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

> i would also like to add that the screen record was named “control panel”

Game Bar names recordings after the app it was recording, so in this case it was recording the Control Panel.

Game Bar can only record one app window, it will record the app which was focused when you started the recording. It cannot switch to recording another app after you begin recording.

> i would also like to fix this specific screen recording as it is important for me.

I'm afraid it won't be possible to fix this recording. Game Bar only recorded that specific window; you can't go back and change that as any other data was not captured during the recording.

If you wish to record your whole screen, I recommend using a different recording app such as OBS. Game Bar is designed for recording games, hence why it can only capture one window at a time.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

it wont let me edit so.

unless you mean usb, but i don't see how that would change the setting in game bar to record longer

I Think with the audio Controls In Xbox Game Bar Affect the Transmission and recording gameplayers, but no affect the game volume, for that you need change in game

The temporary data for background recordings in the Windows Game Bar is stored in the RAM of your computer and is not saved to disk. It is stored as a buffer in the memory, and the video is not saved to disk until you explicitly choose to save it by pressing Win + Alt + G and selecting "Save".

Once you choose to save the recording, it is saved to a folder of your choice on your local disk. By default, the saved recordings are stored in the "Videos" folder in your "Documents" directory. You can change the default save location for the recordings by going to the Windows Game Bar settings and modifying the "Recorded videos" option.
