How to record a video - Windows 10

Windows 10 has a native feature that lets you record a video clip -- of up to 2 hours -- of your screen. But you may not have noticed this feature, because it's hidden away inside the Xbox app.

Windows 10's

I'm having the same problem. If I use the manual record (windows + alt + r), I get a video of 30 seconds no matter how long I record. If I tell it to record the last 3, 5, or 10 minutes and I use windows+alt+g to "Record that", it only saves the first
minute to a minute and a half of the recording. I can't get any recordings longer than that no matter how hard I try, and there's no error message given. I have 700GB of free space on the Hard Drive so that shouldn't be an issue.

I have a Windows 8.1 Machine that was upgraded to Windows 10 with 8GB of RAM, 2GB nVidia GeForce 840m Video Card + an integrated Intel one.

Thank you for your response, here is a link on how to troubleshoot recording game clips on Windows 10.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the link. But there's nothing on that page to help me with my issue. Which is that my recordings aren't at the settings I've selected.

In the Game DVR page of settings, under the Video Encoding section, I've got Video Quality set to 60fps and Video Resolution set to High. However, when I record my game-play, the recording is 1080P, but it's 35fps at best (although more often 20 to 30 fps).

Why won't it record at 60fps like I've set it?

Hi Iman976,

Since this is happening with games bought and used from different platforms, there may be a PC setting that is causing this to happen. There's a possible setting where you have to turn on the microphone to record voice in your videos.

Go ahead and follow this guide to set up your headset microphone or any other microphone you use:

On the Game bar, go ahead and toggle the microphone mute button on and off when recording a video to test it out.

the only other option is to download another 3rd party program or app that you like and that your processor can handle. a quick google brought me to this. winsupersite.com/.../how-use-windows-10s-screen-recording-utility
