Windows 10: Windows 10 Screen Capture not recording

Why is Windows 10 screen capture suddenly not recording videos? When I press the start recording button I get a pop up saying"GAMING FEATURES AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR THE WINDOWS DESKTOP OR FILE EXPLORER". I use to record videos online and even recorded personal videos of myself to post on my social media accounts. All my game bar settings are on as directed. I hope somebody can tell me how to get this back to working. Thank You in advanceDevice name LAPTOP-UHU88DT3Processor AMD Ryzen 3 3250U with Radeon Graphics 2.60 GHzInstalled RAM 12.0 GB 9.92 GB usableSystem type 64-bit operatin

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

When you say Screen recorder are you referring to Problem Step recorder?

the screen shot during each click. To get more information about the Step recorder feature please check the steps below.
