xbox gamebar video brightness is super high

but it isn't an update issue

We highly recommend running the Windows Update Troubleshooter for Windows 10 (microsoft.com), then follow the steps mentioned here => How to perform a clean boot in Windows (microsoft.com).

Hi josef,

i uninstalled and reinstalled the xbox gamebar but the videos still too bright when i record with it.

do you have any other suggestions?

Your brightness is probably too bright. Happens in most games, if you put the brightness up to high the letters become blurry.

Have you tried changing the brightness too? Sometimes a high brightness can cause a smokey type effect like you explained.
