Windows 10: [HELP] Game Bar only shows up in recordings but not on display itself!

Hey guys, I feel like I've exhausted all possible solutions.

My game bar will appear in recordings but will not appear on my display itself. Heres an example of me toggling the Game Bar on and off through a gif recording. I have no idea why the Game Bar won't actually show up on my display but will on a recording.

Videos are frozen in recordings using Game Bar

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

This issue is caused when the recording doesn’t end correctly. Normally when this happens you will need to restart the Game bar to fix the problem.

However, if restarting the Game bar doesn’t fix this issue, we can try the steps mentioned below and check if that helps in resolving the issue:

1. Close the game and Game bar.
   
2. Press and hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc key to open
   Task Manager.
   
3. In Task Manager, click on more details.
   
4. From the list of running processes, look for
   Broadcast bar server (bcastdvr.exe), right click on it and select
   End task.
   
5. Restart your game and Game bar and try recording games.
   

You can also try updating Display drivers form Device manager to make sure the latest version of Display drivers are installed on the computer. To update the Display drivers, please follow the steps mentioned in the article
Update drivers in Windows 10.

For additional information, you can refer the article:
Troubleshoot Game Bar on Windows 10.

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Recordings from Game Bar show black screen

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the recordings using the Game Bar shows black screen. However, it would be great if you can reply with the details requested below:

• Were you able to install the drivers?
  
• Were you able to use the recording feature earlier?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

If you have updated the graphics driver, I would suggest you to try rolling back the drivers and see if that helps:

1. Press the Windows Logo key + X key, and select
   Device manager.
   
2. In Device manager, expand Display adapters.
   
3. Right click on AMD driver and select
   Properties.
   
4. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
   
5. Restart the computer.
   

You may also want to check whether the Xbox Game Monitoring service is running or not. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type services.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Scroll down and look for Xbox Game Monitoring, and see if the service is running.
   
4. If the service is not running, right click on the service and select
   Start.

Troubleshoot Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10.



Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.
