Xbox Game Bar disables Mic as soon as I switch tabs/alt tab or go to any program.

Alt+Tab switches tasks. To minimise the current frame, use Alt+space bar + dash (i.e. Alt -)

the record feature *has* been working, it records everything except my mic when I alt+tab or "Tab out" in where I have to mute and unmute for it to registed my mic again.

"and it sucks up system resources that i need for my gaming,"

- Hmm, what evidence it there of this ? When disabled the only thing it should be using is a very small amount of drive space.

I can attest to seeing my games go thru serious lag as soon as the game bar starts running in the background. I have to alt-tab out of my games kill the task and everything goes back to good.. annoying in all reality.

Hey Crimson,

I've experienced issues like this in the past and it usually has something to do with a background program. See if there's anything in particular that you have running when it's working compared to when it's not working. Also, alt-tabbing can cause some
inconsistencies with some games. Think back to when it didn't work, did you alt-tab that session prior to recording?

Hope this helps!

Yeah actually, I think that's the issue there, I do alt tab but not during the recording, let's say I play for 2 hours I would alt + tab out to reply to a message on discord or look up something and an hour later I would record a clip, guess that's what
it is then, thanks, but is there any work around other than having to reset my game completely when I alt + tab because usually I have to do that during a game session, if not, that's fine, just looking for any answer with that
