Game bar recording device.

Hi DuncanIdaho4,

I would suggest you refer to the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Uninstall and re-install Xbox app:

Right-click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose Windows PowerShell (Admin).

On the PowerShell window, copy-paste the following command and hit Enter:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Xbox app | Remove-AppxPackage

Reboot the machine once the command is executed and reinstall the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store.

After the app is installed successfully, try hiding the recording timer.

Thank you!
