Windows 10: Mysterious Windows logon message "Recording has timed out, please try again"

Every time I sit down to logon to my PC recently I see a message on the lock screen stating "Message recording has timed out, please try again". Nothing should be recording on my PC.


When I perform a search for the message there are zero hits, which is very odd. Typically any error message you can imagine has a history on the web. What does this mean and how do I stop it?

Xbox Game DVR not recording properly, error "There's nothing to record. Play some more and try again".

Hello, and thanks for trying Game DVR. This is Rohan from the Game DVR team. Someone else posted a similar problem on this forum. I would suggest taking a look at my response in that thread, and following the steps to file a bug so that we can collect the
right logs and figure out why this is happening.

"Nothing to record. Play some more and try again."

 

Steps Recorder there... but not there

I seemed to have been saved by a link to this fix:
Please use regedit to rename hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows\AppCompat - changeAppCompat to AppCompat_HOLD . Then try launching PSR again.
Tried it and now Steps Recorder seems to be working as it should.
But to follow up on your suggestion, I'm going to try to find and repair the corrupt files that my sfc scan found... after setting a restore point!
Thanks for your help.

Check DNS settings for both network adapters. Your Wifi might be set to use a different DNS server.

Option Two follow steps then pick a DNS server from the list in item 7. Personally I use CloudFlare DNS

EDIT: Reset router first as already suggested.
