xbox game bar record feature does not work for me after windows 11 autoupdating

Cheers, it works, i mean i found another post related to this before getting a notif but thanks, any reason why this was happening tho?

If the record button and screen shot buttons are greyed out, you need to do a registry edit.

Step 1: Launch Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit to the search box and clicking the result.

Step 2: Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR.

Step 3: If you cannot find the AppCaptureEnabled key, right-click on the space and choose New > DROWD (32-bit) Value. Name it as AppCaptureEnabled. Then, double-click on it to set the value data to 1.

Step 3: If you find AppCaptureEnabled be sure to change it from 0 to 1.

Hope that helps.

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.

I think, during your trial to record, you may have hit the win+G button while a chrome window was active. This tells game bar to identify that app as a recordable game.

The reason why the messages persisted after you logged out is because the xbox app is searate from game bar--the feature that records the screen.

I assume by the 'playback feature' you mean the record time? The Windows Game Bar maximum record time that can be set is 4hrs. This can be changed in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures.

The Windows Game-Bar uses a video recording codec that requires the file to be finalised in order for it to be saved. This means that either if the recording is stopped via the Game Bar or the recording ends on its own once the maximum time is reached, the file should save. If for some reason there a fault or a system crash, the video recording won't save as it won't complete the 'finalising' process.

Replay feature NOT Record feature pls?
