Windows 10: key shortcut to "record what happened" settings>gaming>captures opens Xbox game bar instead...

When utilizing the game capture function, the keys settings says to press are "windows logo key + alt + G". The issue is that the key-sequence it says to press actually open the Xbox game bar instead, even though windows kay + G already opens the game bar. How do I either make the existing key-shortcut work, or change the key shortcut to another combination? I've already messed around with the Xbox game bar to try and change the shortcut but when I changed it there was no affect.

Cannot open Xbox Game Bar

Hi,

A corrupted data may cause your Gamebar is not to work properly.
Here are steps on how to fix problems with Game bar on Windows 10:

1. If nothing happens when you press the Windows logo key + G, check your Game bar settings. Open the Xbox app,
and select Settings > Game DVR and make sure Record game clips and screenshots using Game bar is On.

2. If Game bar doesn’t appear for a full-screen game, try keyboard shortcuts: Press the Windows logo key + Alt + R to start
recording a clip, then press it again to stop. You’ll see the screen flash when the recording starts and ends.

3. If the Windows logo key isn’t working during a game, the game may be blocking it. To create your own keyboard shortcuts for Game bar, choose the Xbox app, then select Settings > Game
DVR > Keyboard shortcuts and set your own.

If the issue persists, we suggest that you check for new Windows Updates and install the critical and important updates on your computer by following the steps on this
