Hey! Sorry for the late reply, but "regular recordings" means the Win+Alt+R shortcut that records the screen. I tried to repair Xbox Game Bar but I still can't use the record last 30 seconds feature.

Go to your windows update and click on get updates

After updating

See which version is your windows this way, and tell me

The version consists of 4 digits

And then go to the Microsoft Store, select More > Downloads & updates > Get updates.

Update everything in both places, and let me know if it works

Step 1: Press Windows + I to launch Windows 11 settings.

Step 2: Click Apps > Apps & Features.

Step 3: Enter Xbox Game Bar and press Enter key in the search box. Then click on the three dots > Advanced Options.

Step 4: To repair Xbox Game Bar, click on the Repair button as it is not working. If that doesn't help, click the Reset button.

I look forward to seeing if the error continues.

If you’re experiencing issues using Xbox Game Bar on your Windows device, make sure that you have the latest version of Windows and that all your Windows updates are complete. If you’re experiencing issues with your shortcuts not working, check for updates and ensure that you’re using the latest version of Xbox Game Bar.

You can record up to 30 minutes with the Xbox game bar, but it will automatically turn off after that. However, some games may allow you to record longer clips, up to 5 minutes, depending on the game settings.
