Why does Xbox Game Bar always gives me lagspikes?

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Cedrik_BOI, believe this may have to do with Windows updates, make sure you have any updates to the 22H2 version installed on your console.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

Updates are often seen as optional.

Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

it is when it saves the recording to file from temp, also it has to initiate the drive where it saves too and this causes a spike while accessing IO, try shadowplay as it is less resource hungry and works a lot better and you get a solid video capture and screenshot capture.

ya same here i think its on IW/activisons side aka lagspike

Spoke too soon. It is connecting me but taking about 10 mins of sitting on the MP menu to do so and when I do get connected, every match has lagspikes (always when I'm shooting at someone so I die) and then it kicks me after every match and I have to wait
5 mins til I finds me a new lobby.

I discovered this exact same issue last night, between State of Decay 2 and the Xbox Game Bar.

My workaround was to PTT transmit with the game-bar open, then close the bar overlay to return to gameplay - the problem this created was that I was always transmitting, which does not help in your scenario.
