Game Bar screenshots now capture the bar at the top of my games.

Hi Kyle,

Let's try to troubleshoot this concern so that we can find a way to eliminate the bar at the top of your games when taking a screenshot using the Game Bar on Windows 10. I recommend that you try the following solutions below:

Solution 1: Re-enable Game DVR.

1. Press the Windows key, and then select the gear icon to access Settings.
2. Go to Gaming.
3. Turn off Game Bar.
4. Restart your computer
5. Go back to Settings > Gaming.
6. Turn on Game Bar.

Solution 2: Check for any Windows 10 Update on your computer by going to
Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.

Solution 3: Delete Temporary Files

1. Open Settings and go to System.
2. Go to Storage and choose This PC.
3. Scroll down and find Temporary files.
4. Click on it and then click on Delete temporary files. (Note: This process may take a while to complete - it all depends on how many you have. Wait until it's complete and then reboot your PC and try again.)

Solution 4: Perform a Clean boot on your computer to eliminate software conflicts. You may refer to this
link for the steps.

Let us know how it goes after performing the aforementioned solutions. We'd be glad to further assist you.
