why does Xbox Game Bar does not screen record any more ?

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Frank1100, are you playing on Pc, what would be your operating system, Win 10 or 11?

Have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 22H2?

See which version of Windows 10/11 you have

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.

Non of that helped the first time you suggested it. i have no problem bring the game bar up, the problem i have is getting it to record.

I hit windows+G game bar pops up, i hit record it lags my screen and does not record.

Hi,

I have the same problem on my laptop with windows 10 creator update.

I think that it does this thing when game does not support "Game Bar" in full screen.

After I do not know if it activates a few things ...

When a game supports "Game Bar" game bar open and when a game not supports "Game Bar" screen have a flash screen.

I found this for "Game Bar" game support : https://forums.xbox.com/fr-FR/thread/8d058178-2329-4513-bc0a-1506c2942dad?page=1

I hope someone will be more for explanation why there is this "flash screen".

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

Use Game Bar to Record Game Clips on Windows 10 will explain more about using the game bar. We recommend reviewing the article entitled

Troubleshoot Game Bar on Windows 10 if the game bar does not appear when the command is entered. Be sure to let us know the results!

Hi Den-Den,

Thanks for responding. We are more than happy to help and appreciate your efforts.

If nothing happens when you press the Windows logo key +
G, check your
Game bar
settings. Open the
Xbox
app, and select
Settings >
Gaming
and make sure
Record game clips,
screenshots,
and broadcast using Game bar
is
On.

If Game bar doesn’t appear for a full-screen game, try keyboard shortcuts: Press the
Windows logo key +
Alt+
R
to start recording a clip, then press it again to stop. You’ll see the screen flash when the recording starts and ends.

Game Bar on Windows 10

I hope this helps ^‿^
