  1. W10 game settings: Background recording set to 10 minutes - only records 2.5?


    I've set my windows game recording to record in the background- specifically the last 10 minutes - and when the "record last 30 seconds is clicked", it only records the last 2 minutes 30 seconds roughly.

    There is no error message or anything. Why is this happening? Why won't it record the full 10 minutes as configured?

    Hiding New Game Bar when Recording

    Hi LeviathanTheEsper,

    Normally, You can play your games while recording it in the background. It seems that background recording is not enabled on your computer that's why the Game bar is showing up when playing your games. Let's check if background recording is enabled by performing
    the following steps:

    1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
    2. Go to Gaming.
    3. Select Game DVR.
    4. Under Background Recording, check if the toggle switch is enabled.

    We look forward to your update.

    How can I turn background recording on for games in Windows 10?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Windows 10 includes a built-in tool for recording videos of PC
    games. You can do this with the “Game Bar,” which is part of the “Game DVR” feature offered by the Xbox app. Windows 10 also includes customizable keyboard shortcuts for recording videos and
    capturing screenshots.

    Follow the below steps for the same,

    1. Open the Game Bar

    To open the Game Bar while playing a game, press Windows Key + G. It will pop up above the game you’re playing.
    You may need to be playing the PC game in windowed mode to see the game bar, so try setting your game to windowed mode if you don’t see it.

    The Game bar includes icons for quickly opening the Xbox app, controlling background recording, taking a screenshot, recording a gameplay video, and accessing settings.

    2. Record a Gameplay Video

    To record a video, open the Game Bar with Windows Key + G and then click the red record button. A timer will appear at the top-right corner of your game window while it’s recording.

    To stop recording the window, bring up the Game Bar again and click the red stop button.

    3. Configure Game DVR Settings

    The Game Bar and Game DVR settings are controlled from within the Xbox app. Open the Xbox app, click the Settings icon, and then select Game DVR to customize them.

    You can disable the Game DVR entirely from here, or set different keyboard shortcuts for opening the game bar, recording videos, taking screenshots, toggling the timer, and using the “Record that” feature.

    4. Use Background Recording

    The
    Xbox One and PlayStation 4 automatically record your gameplay in the background
    , allowing you to instantly save interesting gameplay clips after they happen.

    Game DVR on Windows 10 can function similarly. To use this feature, you’ll need to enable the “Record in the background while I’m playing a game” option under Game DVR Settings in the Xbox app. As the Xbox app tells you, “this may
    affect game performance.” System resources will be constantly used for recording while playing games with this setting enabled, so you’ll want to leave it enabled unless you really want to record gameplay or you have a very powerful PC with extra resources to
    spare.

    By default, it will always record and keep the last 30 seconds. To save the last 30 seconds, you can open the Game Bar and click the second icon from the left, or press Windows + Alt + G. This is the “Record that” feature, which
    will automatically save the last recorded bit of gameplay. It works similarly to the equivalent feature on Xbox One.

    Also refer the below article on
    Record game clips and screenshots,

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
