Thank you for posting to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with the Gaming Bar and recording feature on your Windows 10 device. I will be happy to assist you with this issue.



Firstly, I would like to know if you have updated your Windows 10 to the latest version. If not, please update your Windows 10 to the latest version as this may resolve the issue.



If you have already updated your Windows 10 to the latest version and the issue still persists, please follow the steps below:



Step 1: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.



Step 2: Click on Gaming.



Step 3: Click on the Game Bar tab.



Step 4: Ensure that the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option is turned on.



Step 5: Scroll down and click on the "Keyboard shortcuts" option.



Step 6: Ensure that the "Open Game bar" and "Record that" options are turned on.



If the above steps do not resolve the issue, please try resetting the Game Bar settings by following the steps below:

Step 5: Restart your computer.



After restarting your computer, try using the Game Bar and recording feature again by pressing Windows + G and Windows + Alt + R respectively.

Hello AdidasPK,

We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

We understand that you are having trouble recording Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself. I'll be happy to assist you with this.



To record Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself, you need to enable the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option in the Game Bar settings. Here are the steps to do so:



1. Press the Windows key + G to open the Game Bar.

2. Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) on the Game Bar.

3. In the Game Bar settings, make sure that the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option is turned on.

4. Also, make sure that the "Record audio when I record a game" option is turned on if you want to record audio along with your gameplay.

5. Once you have enabled these settings, you can start recording your gameplay by pressing the Windows key + Alt + R.



Please note that not all games support Game Bar overlay recording. If you are having trouble recording Game Bar overlay while recording with Game Bar itself, it could be due to the game not supporting this feature. You can check the game's display settings to see if there are any options related to Game Bar overlay recording.
