My cursor is out of place when I record using the xbox gaming bar is there any way to fix that?

I do not have a problem using the keys in game, the game bar would not recording the game, and when i hit record it would lag and not record. I have already tried using the page you provided for help. Nothing has worked, the only way to fix it is restart
my PC.

Good evening

Xbox game bar doesn't work in all games or resolutions, try switching to windowed mode and see if that fixes the problem.

Many games simply use technology that does not allow recording. Rest your mouse cursor over the recording icon and it will tell you the reason.

I have a similar problem but it only seems to happen when I open the windows game bar, to record gameplay or take pictures. And when I do none of the buttons on the controller work except the xbox home button which opens the windows game bar but again, can't use any other buttons. My only fix so far is to restart the whole computer, but then I can't record anything.

Hi Raven,

Thanks for your post! I understand you're experiencing issues with recording clips. Do you mind posting the exact error message you are seeing when attempting to record clips? Have you attempted to record clips in any other games using the Game Bar? For

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
