  1. Windows 10 Fall Creators Update: Game Bar support for full-screen mode


    In the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, we now support fullscreen optimizations for most applications and games. The feature allows users to more quickly switch (alt-tab) from fullscreen games to other applications and allows games
    to use more efficient graphics presentation modes, which can help increase graphics performance. With fullscreen optimizations enabled, you’ll see several other improvements as well: displaying overlays on top of your games, such as the volume slider; preserving
    color changes made in software such as Night Light mode; preserving changes made in the “Calibrate display color” wizard; and others types of color changes.



    If you need to disable fullscreen optimizations, it is possible to do so on a per-application basis by right-clicking on an executable file > Properties > Compatibility tab > toggling the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" checkbox.



    Note that fullscreen optimizations requires graphics drivers to be WDDM 2.0 or greater. To confirm that you have a WDDM2.0 driver, hit Win+R, type “dxdiag”, and then on the Display tab look for the Driver Model listed on the right.

    If you experience any issues which are solved by disabling fullscreen optimizations, please use the Feedback Hub to report them. We want to deliver a great gaming experience on Windows for everyone and we appreciate your feedback.
    If you follow the steps below it will make sure that any feedback you submit has performance information included so we can more easily investigate.

    1. Go to
    http://aka.ms/submitgameperformancefeedback
    , which will open the feedback hub to the correct location for collecting performance logs

    2. Select Add new feedback, mark it as a Problem (important).

    3. Provide any further information about the issue in the details section.

    4. Launch your game and get to the issue area.

    5. Click the "Start capture" button.

    6. Reproduce the problem for 10-15 seconds. Make sure to stop capturing promptly so that the last 30 seconds of the capture clearly demonstrate the problem.

    7. Provide any further information about the issue and the captured logs (i.e. first half shows X, second half shows Y) in the details section.

    8. Click the "Stop capture" button.

    9. Click the "Submit" button to send the bug to us.

    :)

    I can't find the Game mode switch

    Follow the steps here for a possible solution:

    Step 1: Check that the Game Bar and Game Mode are enabled in Windows 10

    First, you need to double check that the Game bar feature is enabled in Windows 10. To do that, open the Settings app and go to Gaming -> Game bar.

    There, make sure that you set the switch that says: Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar to On. Also, it is a good idea to enable the setting that says: Show Game bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified.

    Step 2: Set and use different keyboard shortcuts for the Game Bar, that don’t involve the Windows key

    Some games may block the use of the Windows key and therefore, each time you press it, it is ignored. As a result, if you press Windows + G to show the Game bar on the screen, nothing happens. Microsoft provides a way for you to set your own shortcuts, that
    don't include the Windows key. Read and follow this guide to learn how to change the keyboard shortcuts for the Game bar and all its features: 2 ways to change the keyboard shortcuts for the Game Bar in Windows 10.

    Step 3: Set your game to run in a window, instead of taking the whole screen

    Most games for Windows run in full-screen mode and they don’t have built-in support for the Game bar and/or Game Mode. This is especially true for games that were developed prior to April 2017, when these features were first made available in Windows 10. However,
    if you run them in a window, instead of full-screen, then you will be able to show the Game bar on the screen and use it to enable the Game More, take screenshots, record videos and more.

    Home Button of X Box One controller makes screen flash.

    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".

    Microsoft Ultimate Word Games Keeps Crashing after Latest Microsoft Update

    Hello!

    What do you mean by latest Microsoft update? For the game? Windows Updates? Creator's Update? If you're not currently running the Windows 10 Fall 2018 Creator's update, I would definitely recommend installing that.

    Игровой режим [Mod Translation-Game Mode]

    Hi ProSlick3489,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

    It usually depends on the game as pulling up a game overlay in certain games could change the display settings in-game from Full-screen mode to Windowed mode. Have you checked your in-game settings if the game is set to Full-screen mode? What game is collapsing
    when you open the Xbox Game Bar overlay?

    I'd recommend checking the Microsoft Store in case the Xbox Game Bar needs an update.
