Windows 10: How do I fix "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast" turning off after I've turned...

Whenever I turn on "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast" in the Game Bar settings it just keeps turning off and I don't know how to fix it. Please help.

:)

 

"Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar" will not stay on.

When I am in the Game bar settings I go to turn on "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar" and as soon as I click away from that screen and go back to it, the switch is turned off again. Why will the toggle not stay on?

Hi ToddBrooks,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• How are you broadcasting?
  
• Are you receiving any error code along with the error message?
  
• Which version of Windows you are using? (To check, type: winver in start menu and hit enter.)
  

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
