    Unable to identify a game to the Game Bar. Windows 10.


    The problem I am having is with the Game Bar that's part of the xbox app on windows 10.

    When I try to open it in game, before it can work it has a dialog to identify it as a game "Would you like to open Game Bar?". Image: http://i.imgur.com/s26RQqx.png

    But when I go to click the "Yes, this is a game." button, my cursor just goes behind the Game Bar thus I cannot click 'yes. Image: http://i.imgur.com/BJoPHpg.png

    None of the Game Bar features can work until I've identified it as a game.

    How can I resolve this issue?

    Is there perhaps another way to tell the game bar that the game is a game without having to click it? A keyboard shortcut or a file containing a list perhaphs?

    Is there perhaps a way to make the Game Bar not ask this question and just start?

    :)

    Win + G and win + ALT + R for game captures are not working in some games?

    Hello!

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The Windows logo key + G on a Windows 10 PC will open the game bar. Is the game bar not showing up on the screen when those buttons are pressed? The article entitled

    Game Recording Bar position adjusting problem.

    Hi there!

    Thank you for coming to the forums. I'd be happy to try and help.

    Does it not allow you to drag it from the top banner of the game bar? Pressing the Windows Key + G will bring up the Game Bar so believe pressing it again should hide the game bar.

    Take a look at these support articles for plenty of information regarding the game bar on Window 10 and hopefully there is something there that can help you:


    I hope this helps!
