    Xbox game bar barely works.


    Hello,I love the idea of the xbox game bar, but I don't think the program works properly at all.One or more of these 3 things happen every time I try to use it:1. It complains about desktop recording not being available when a game is open.2. Settings change, disappear entirely or become unchangeable.3. It literally won't open at all.In any case I'm required to reset the entire program through 'apps and features' whenever I want to use it.

    Microphone not working with Xbox game bar

    My son is trying to record his playing on roblox using Xbox game bar. He is using a laptop on windows 10.

    It was working fine a few days ago. Now he is having problems with the microphone. When he brings up the xbox game bar, (windows G), the menu says that the microphone is not working because of privacy settings.

    When I go to the privacy settings for microphone, I gave permission to use the microphone for all the listed apps. But xbox game bar is not one of the listed apps. I also tried "reset" on the xbox game bar which did not help.

    How can I give permission to the xbox game bar to access the microphone?

    Microphone itself is working. I can use it on Cortana.

    Thanks

    HW
