why cant i capture anything on game bar

Hi Duarte , my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

You can use the Game Bar capture widget to do it.

Open the game bar Winkey + G, and click on the Capture icon to open the widget.

To capture it press Wingkey + Alt + Printscreen key or if you are using a controller, the Share button.

Please give it a try.

The reason why I cannot do this is because my xBox Games Bar won't even open. Yes, I'm well aware that I could deinstall my captures but I cannot open the Game Bar when I'm playing a game. That is my question, how to fix that?

Do I take it this is the path where you are looking:

"To find your game clips and screenshots, select the Start button, then go to Settings > Gaming > Captures and select Open folder."

Try opening Game Bar (Win+G) and then click on the Capture icon (the little camera picture)...does it show anything if you click on "show all captures"

How are you recording video/taking screenshots? Are you using Game Bar or something else?

Mine is the same I cant message and I cant download my captures at all, the app just freezes and do anything about it 🤯

Hi Ma Ho,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums.

As you have stated, broadcasting directly to Mixer has been removed from the Xbox Game Bar in a recent update for the Game Bar. There is no indication the feature will come back to the Game Bar, so as of now the feature is gone for good to make room for
other more requested features.

As far as why your captures are not showing in that window, have you restarted your PC and checked the Microsoft Store app if there are any recent updates for Xbox Game Bar? Have you tried changing the location of where the captures are saved?

Be sure to let us know!
