  2. Window 10 Game Bar is disabling the microphone on the overlay.

    Hello guys, i like to save the last "30 seconds" with the game bar overlay from xbox one on window 10, but sometimes, even when i activate the microphone on the overlay, it get disabled without even opening the overlay again. I use it to save clips on

  3. Windows 10 4k fullscreen game cursor invisible

    I cannot see my cursor in full screen games.

    Details:

    *Games with superimposed cursors allow me to see the custom cursor

    *Windowed games allow me to see the cursor

    *If my native resolution is set to anything other than 1080p i cannot see my cursor in fullscreen games

    *My monitor is 3840x2160 60hz and my system is set to 3840x2160 60hz (So don't tell me that i should set my resolution to that of my display, because I already have.)

    *No matter what in-game resolution i configure to, i cannot see my cursor in-game

    *Every game is affected

    *3rd party overlays like the steam overlay do not allow me to see the cursor in any fullscreen application

    *** Pointer trails are disabled, pointer shadow has been tested both toggled on and off, Enhancements of pointer precision are disabled, Show Pointer Location by hitting Control has been tested both On and Off

    *This problem started when i switched to windows 10

    *This problem has NOT been solved

    I can see my cursor in windowed mode

    I can see my cursor on the windows desktop

    I can see my cursor in fullscreen games when my system resolution is set to 1080p

    I can see my cursor when i have tabbed out of a fullscreen game

    I CANNOT see the rings generated by show pointer location by hitting control

    I CANNOT see my cursor in fullscreen games by using applications like borderless game

    I CANNOT see the windows cursor while a fullscreen game is highlited

    Disabling the Windows 10 overlays at top and bottom of fullscreen game

    Windows 10 1709 (16299.309) has somehow disabled 'Fullscreen' in games.

    I recently updated to 1709 and have found that games no longer have access to fullscreen mode.

    Most games force me directly to Windowed mode, and no longer list Fullscreen in the enum. Some games still allow windowed fullscreen. Games that list the standard Fullscreen typically crash or post an error when I swap to that mode.

    The only thing that has changed on my system is my OS version, and I've been using an otherwise identical setup for gaming for years.

    Since updating windows, I updated my video drivers, which resolved nothing. Sadly I just passed my 1 week window to undo the windows 'upgrade'.
