Windows 10: Built-in Windows 10 Broadcast Settings Will Not Save, Broadcast Broken

Built-in Windows 10 Broadcast Settings Will Not Save and Unable to Stream Using Windows Game Bar

First Issue is that I am unable to change two settings under Settings>Gaming>Broadcast. I cannot set Audio Quality or uncheck the box for "Broadcast Game Audio Only". All other settings appear to save without issue. Picture of Settings: Windows 10 Broadcast Settings - Album on Imgur

Second issue and it may or may not be related is that I cannot stream to mixer using Xbox Game Bar. Win+G>Broadcast. I get the application error "Broadcasting isn't working. Something went wrong. Try broadcasting again later." Also of note is that previously mixer would briefly pop up and try to begin broadcasting before giving me the same error. After trying some of the fixes below that is no longer the case instead attempting to broadcast fails instantly to the error.

So far I have tried:
-Making Sure Background Apps in Windows Security Settings Settings>Privacy>Background Apps [Enabled]

-Enable Broadcasting on Windows Account
https://account.xbox.com/en-us/Settings>Privacy & Online Safety > Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety> Broadcast Gameplay [Allow]

-Uninstalling and Reinstalling Xbox Game Bar
In Windows Powershell as Administrator:
Get-appxpackage -allusers *Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage
Reinstall “Xbox Game Bar” from Microsoft Store

-Ensuring App Capture is enabled in the Registry
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
“AppCaptureEnabled”=DWORD:1
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore
“GameDVR_Enabled”=DWORD:1

-Unlinking and Relinking Microsoft Account to Mixer
Mixer.com>Account> Unlink Microsoft Account>Link Microsoft Account

-Resetting Windows 10 and Keeping My Files

You can check if the Broadcast option is enabled under Settings. To do so, follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Click on the Settings icon from the start menu.
   
2. Click on Gaming > Click on
   Game bar.
3. In the right pane, turn on the slider under “Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar”.
   

I suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the Microsoft article on ‘Why

Mixer Broadcast Not Working

Hi CV Scaryseizure,

Thank you for bringing this up. Let's try to isolate this issue so that we could figure out what causing the Mixer Broadcast not to work properly. Kindly provide us the following information below:

• Can you tell us when did you notice this issue?
• Do you use the Mixer Broadcasting app on Windows 10?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

In the meantime, I recommend that you sign out your account on the Mixer app then sign in again. If you still got the same issue, I suggest that you also reinstall the app to eliminate corrupted files.

We look forward to your reply.
