Windows 10: Game Bar not opening.

Hello!


I would like to ask a question about my game bar on Windows 10. I use my game bar to fix game audio, record game clips, take screenshots and much more things... but a few days ago I couldn't open my Game Bar. I used the usual keys,Win+G, but it still didn't work. I tried the, Windows logo key+ Alt+R, to record some videos while playing but it didn't work. I tried doing some research about how it can be fixed but nothing worked. I would appreciate it if your team could reach out to me since it doesn't work.


Thank you,
