Xbox captures settings

Hope you're doing great today despite this NYZHEION

Please double check if your game bar and all capturing settings are enabled
Open Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures

If yes, when you open game bar the capturing button is greyed?
Or what's happening exactly?

That's really odd, just to confirm. Are you not using a virtual machine or similar in your PC?

If not, can you double check if your Windows system is up to date?

By the way, what are your hardware specs? (Processor model, graphics card model, RAM)

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

If everything is up to date, try one of the next:
1. Run the SFC tool to find and repair possible system corruptions

2. Perform an in-place upgrade for your system (don't worry your content will remain)

Hi MEDG429,

Have you checked your capture settings. Adjust capture settings on Windows 10

This happened to me as well. I tested Red Dead redemption and screen captures worked fine on that game but not on COD modern warfare.

Thought it was maybe something within the modern warfare game.

However, I use an external storage drive in addition to internal drive and I seem to have fixed it by simply adjusting screen capture location in two different places on the Xbox One

1) Go to Capture Settings (Xbox button, RB twice to 'Capture & Share), then go down to 'capture settings' and choose drive you wish to use for capture location.

Then

2) Go to System settings (Xbox button, RB three times to 'System' and go to Settings->system->storage then highlight same drive you chose in step 1) and press A button, go down and choose 'set as capture location'

I suspect that COD looks at the settings in my Step 2) to do storage of screen captures because once I selected a drive for capture location here, the COD screen caps started behaving correctly.

Other games were capturing correctly because they probably just look at the generic capture settings in my Step 1) for their information.

Seems to have fixed things for me.

Hope this helps someone
