Windows 10: Issues with Xbox game bar

Hello, I'm on windows 11 home. And I'm Currently trying to use Xbox Game Bar on my desktop. I get the error message "Gaming features are not available for the windows desktop or file exploder". I've done this on windows 10 and it works just fine but not on windows 11. I've tried Updating, Repairing, Resting, Restarting, Installing Microsoft media pack, And enabling all features for Game Bar. None of them have fixed it any other answers. I've already tried other recording softwares they all use way to much of my cpu and lag

:)
