Windows 10: using gamebar to record video doesn't work for multiple windows

all,


I have linked to a sample mp4 that I took. the video is after this description. it is 10MB in size, and 20 seconds long. the image attached shows what my screen looked like when I started recording, and what it always looked like during the entire 20 seconds. notepad is on the right side, firefox on the left. both windows are restored to half the screen size to show the viewer both at the same time. when recording an MP4 with the gamebar, if I switch focus from one window to the other, it does not reflect in the video! it simply shows the same program window that I started in, and remains there throughout. when I switch focus to the other window, nothing is seen in the video other than the window I started in. the active window where I'm recording my activity doesn't even show up! is this just a limitation of the game bar's abilities? if it is, that's absolutely terrible and doesn't really make sense at all. shouldn't a screen recorder of ANYKIND be able to record the actual SCREEN and not just the program that has the window with the highest z-index to start with!?


for your reference: "highest z-index = window on top of all other windows = window that has the focus initially"


thanks.

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

Gamebar does not record sound.....

Hi, recently I have found that gamebar isn, t recording any audio if I use a bluetooth headset. I thought it record the audio from system. How to resolve the issue? Can I recover the audio in recorded videos(I know it's a stupid question but still...)?

 

Gamebar not recording all sounds??

Here is a video properly demonstrating exactly how broken Gamebar is being.

Note: you can see that the Gamebar records shots fired by my TEAMMATES, but not ME.
