    Hello everyone,

    I started to have some problems with the Xbox Game Bar yesterday. I record online lectures using the game bar and didn't have problems before.

    However, it only recorded the first 6 seconds of the last lecture even though the name of the file (which has the starting date and time) and the date and time the file is saved (which indicates the end of the clip) seem to be correct so it's not that the game bar just shut down after 6 seconds. It was a bummer because I was planning to study for the finals by watching the lectures again. The professor provides his lecture presentation files but does not record his own lectures so I don't have an official copy I could watch instead or something.

    Here is a short snip of how the file looks like on the file explorer.

    If you have any ideas why this happened or any suggestions please do let me know. It would be great to know how to recover the videos (if it is even possible) but I don't think that could happen.

    Thank you!

    :)

    Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10 only recorded the first 6 seconds even when the file name and time indicates the recording started more than an hour ago

    Hi there Ponix welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. I suggest uninstalling the app completely! Everytime that it tried to give me a hard time I do this and it works wonders! Here are the steps!

    But, also, a lot of users are having issues with their recordings so this might be an internal issue!

    Wont let me record

    Hi JasonMurphy8,

    sorry to hear. I suspect the error code is from Windows 10 and you could not record because the game bar could not grab the video Signal???? I only know this error code produced by my virtual computer when it gets issues with the new hardware driver of the
    real Computer!!!

    So if it Windows 10, some games do not allow you to record!!!: But try a look first at

    "The Game Bar Troubleshoot"
    Check also if there is another driver for your VGA (from the manufacturer) and if all the XBOX Service are uptodate (via the Windows Store).

    Hope this helps and please keep us informed

    Win + G and win + ALT + R for game captures are not working in some games?

    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!

    Clips aren't showing up/sometimes corrupted.

    Hello ,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your Windows 10 computer is not saving clips, and the files that are being saved do not show your gameplay. Are you able to

    record game clips
    by pressing the windows logo key+Alt+R? The article we provided contains instructions on how to record game clips. It also explains that for some PC games, Game Bar won't appear full screen. If this article does not resolve the issue,
    we have another article for

    Thanks for the tip. This command does work, and it is saved every time. However, this starts and stops recording, which I will use. But I would also like if I was able to clip the last 30 seconds (my command is ctrl+alt+g), this is the one that isn't working
    properly.
