  1. Xbox controller guide and share button dont do anything on Windows 11


    I am using an Xbox controller on Windows 11 connected to the PC via the Xbox USB wireless adapter.

    A couple of months ago, I could use the guide button to open game bar, and uise the share button to capture screenshots and start/stop recordings.

    After a recent-ish Windows 11 update, this no longer works.

    I've tried re-installing windows, using the controller on different computers, using different controllers, re-installing game bar, connecting the controller via USB instead of wireless and more.

    Nothing is helping. I can no longer take screenshots or record videos via game bar with the controller.

    :)

    Hello Philipp E, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the guide button and share button on your Xbox controller in Windows 11. Sometimes software updates can affect the functionality of controllers and related features.

    Open the Game Bar on your PC by pressing the Windows + G key combination. Make sure the screenshot and recording options are enabled in the Game Bar settings. You can access the Game Bar settings by clicking the gear icon in the Game Bar toolbar.

    Open the Xbox Settings app on your PC and check the controller-related settings. Make sure the "Use the Xbox button to open the guide" option is enabled. You can also review your recording and screenshot settings in the Xbox Settings app.

    Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your Xbox controller. You can download the latest drivers from the Xbox website or use the Windows driver update feature to check for updates.

    Some privacy settings may affect the functionality of the Game Bar and related features. Go to Windows 11 settings, select "Privacy" and check the settings related to screenshot and game recording. Make sure they are enabled and allowed for the gaming app.

    If none of the above suggestions work, you can try resetting your Game Bar settings. To do this, go to Windows 11 settings, select "Games" and then "Games Bar." Click the "Reset" link to reset the Game Bar settings to default values.

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Xbox Wireless Controller's Share Button and Windows 10

    I can't use Windows 11 because of all the removed Win 10 features, and i don't like the new design at all.

    I prefer Win 10 as it's more user friendly than Win 11.

    - Steam natively supports the Share button in Win 10, and it also can be remapped to saving last 5 minutes with NVIDIA Shadowplay in games.

    Alternate app.

    - "Xbox Controller Button App".

    It enables Share button in Win 10 and you can remap it to most on keyboard.

    The problem is that it won't work for everyone due to different revisions of the Series X Gamepad.

    Means all Series X Gamepads is not the same.

    It's almost year 2023, and it shouldn't be this hard to remap one gamepad button to keyboard hotkey.

    After all, it's PC where anything is possible.
