    Xbox game bar takes clips of netflix when im asleep and deletes video files from my computer


    The subject says it all, I read the may update for windows was trash and deleted peoples files so i stopped all updates until mid june then i accidentally updated , 3 days later I notice whenever I try to take clips of games using the game bar they would
    show up as black, as i was trying to sort this issue i noticed that all of my clips were gone ( the ones saved to MY PC too) searched everywhere on C and D drive and they are literally non existant completely gone not even in a bin or anything. now once a
    week my clips get deleted, while trying to sort this out and trying to find the files i noticed that not only was it deleting game clips but I was also missing all the videos and pictures i transfered over from an old cellphone WHICH I REQUIRE FOR A COURT
    CASE RIGHT NOW

    so basically im wondering why windows is acting as if it was malware and deleting my files, this all seems to be tied to game bar hence why im here just got back into PC gaming after a few years so its not like im completely computer illiterate I know what
    im doing here and this is messed right up.. any help would be appreciated.. no restore point or id try to restore my computer back to an earlier date..

    if I go into my xbox companion app ( which allows you to edit your clips ect) to view my clips it literally shows 10 second clips of netflix shows I pass out watching every night ? so literally once im asleep my computer takes clips of netflix? makes no
    sense at all....

    also the new microsoft edge is broken and has 5 copies open and running on my computer that dont even show up in my processes and now theres two icons for it on my computer? seems to me anytime theres an update more and more of my files get deleted.

    :)

    How to upload ANY image to be used in the Activity feed page?

    Hi DrPepperNPizza,

    You can post screenshots taken from a game on the Xbox app. You can also post screenshots or video clips taken from other apps on your computer by using the Game DVR on Windows 10. When playing a game, press the
    Windows logo key + G to open Game bar. Select "Yes, this is a game" if you see a screen asking if you want to open Game bar. With this action, you will be able to take screenshot or video clips on other games
    or apps on your computer.

    Let us know if that works for you.

    XBOX Game Bar Clips Frozen

    So the Game Bar works and is responsive, but the clip itself is not recording properly? I would first take the clip file itself and try to watch it on another computer, see if the issue persists there. That will identify if the issue is on that computer
    specifically, or if it's an issue with recording it to begin with, and we can further try some steps from there to narrow down what's causing it.

    audio and video aren't synced when i record clips

    Hi DARKOWNAGE97,

    Normally, there's no delay when recording clips on Windows 10. It's possible that a corrupted system file is affecting the issue. Have you checked if your computer is updated? Also, does the issue occur to video clips?

    In the meantime, I recommend that you turn off the Game bar and Game DVR by going to
    Settings > Gaming on your computer, then check if the audio and video are now synced.

    We look forward to your reply.

    Whenever I open my gallery tab on the xbox gamebar a bunch of icons from games appear instead of clips that i saved

    Hello Beyoso143, My name is Khaji I am the independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

    It appears that you're experiencing an issue with the Xbox Game Bar's gallery tab. Instead of displaying the clips you've saved, it shows icons from games. When you click "open in file explorer," it takes you to your Local Disk, indicating that the issue may be related to that.

    Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

    1. Close the Xbox Game Bar completely and clear its cache. To do this, press Windows Key + R, type "%appdata%" (without quotes), and press Enter. Locate the "Microsoft" folder, open it, and delete the "Xbox Game Bar" folder. Restart your computer and check if the issue persists.

    2. Make sure that the default save location for your game clips is set correctly. Open the Xbox app on your PC, go to Settings > Captures, and ensure that the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" option is enabled. Also, check the "Save captures" option and verify the location where your clips are being saved.

    3. If the issue continues, you can try reinstalling the Xbox Game Bar. Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings app, go to Apps > Apps & features, search for "Xbox Game Bar," click on it, and select "Uninstall." Afterward, restart your computer, open the Microsoft Store, search for "Xbox Game Bar," and reinstall it from there.

    4. Verify the settings in File Explorer to ensure that it displays the correct content. Open File Explorer, go to the "View" tab, click on "Options," and then select "Change folder and search options." In the "View" tab of the Folder Options window, make sure that the "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" option is selected. Apply the changes and check if you can access your clips from the Xbox Game Bar.

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