Windows 10: Issue with Xbox Game Bar Recording Functionality

StartFragmentDear Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I am experiencing with the Xbox Game Bar on my Windows system. Previously, I was able to record my screen using the shortcut Win + Alt + G without any problems. However, recently, the recording function has become disabled, and I am no longer able to start recordings using this shortcut. This issue is quite inconvenient, as the feature was working properly before, and I rely on it regularly. I have checked my system settings but have not been able to resolve the problem. Could you please provide gu

:)

 

Xbox Game Bar Capture Doesn't Record Mic Audio

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while recording microphone audio using game bar while playing games.



I would suggest you to try troubleshooting Game Bar and see if that helps. Refer the article

Troubleshoot Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10



In addition, you can also check if the Microphone for game bar is enabled under privacy settings.

1. Go to Settings (press Windows +
   I key together) > Privacy.
   
2. On the left hand pane scroll down and look for
   Microphone.
   
3. Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone
   to ON.
   
4. Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to
   ON.
   
5. Restart the game bar.
   

If the issue persists, please get back to us with details of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.

Game bar capture doesn't record audio anymore

What do you need me to tell you? I have told as much as I know about the issue, and I am trying to cooperate with you but the fixes that you are giving me are not specific to the issue, which I am going to restate:

Xbox Game Bar does not record system audio, only video, and this is probably due to the use of the Razer sound card which I am using with my headphones. I am wondering if there is a fix for this issue or whether I will just have to work around it.

These are things that I have already done from your previous responses:

• Enabled 'All' audio to record
  
• Turned on 'Record audio when I record a game'
  

I have also attempted to:

• Reset all Xbox apps
  
• Re-register the Xbox Game Bar
  
• Uninstall and reinstall the Xbox Game Bar
  

These were all unsuccessful.

Any other link (Game Bar not recording at all, Game Bar not capturing microphone audio, Game Bar not working completely) was unrelated.

 

Xbox Game Bar doesn't show FPS

Xbox Game Bar not displaying FPS information despite trying various troubleshooting steps. While the Xbox Game Bar is designed to work on Windows 10 Home as well, it's possible that certain settings or configurations are causing the issue. Here are some additional steps you can try:

Check Game Bar Settings:

• Open the Xbox Game Bar by pressing Win + G.
  
• Click on the settings (gear) icon in the Game Bar overlay.
  
• Ensure that the "Performance" overlay is enabled. You can toggle it on here.
  

Check Graphics Card Compatibility:

• Make sure that your graphics card is compatible with the Xbox Game Bar's performance overlay features. Check the manufacturer's documentation for compatibility information.
  

Create a New Local User Account:

• Since you mentioned that you don't have the "Local Users and Groups" feature available on Windows 10 Home, you can try creating a new local user account and see if the Game Bar functions properly there.
  

Use Registry Editor (Advanced, proceed with caution):

• Press Win + R, type "regedit," and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
  
• Look for a key called AppCaptureEnabled. If it's not present or set to 0, it might be causing the issue. Set it to 1.
