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

Hello Mater_07,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

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.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Billwardqnonsense, sometimes there may have been some problem at the time of creating the temporary files of the media files, if you have already checked the folders and settings of the Game Bar, probably these files unfortunately got lost.

Check your system with the latest updates.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

Updates often seen as optional, Microsoft released major fixes this week, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed.
