Windows 10: Windows game bar isnt recording correctly

Ive been using the "record the last 30 seconds" feature for a couple years now. But since like two weeks ago all my clips have audio problems. The Audio Track seems to be from like 5 to 15 seconds late... So the first 10 seconds of the 30 second clip have no audio and the rest isnt synced...

Videos are frozen in recordings using Game Bar

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

This issue is caused when the recording doesn’t end correctly. Normally when this happens you will need to restart the Game bar to fix the problem.

However, if restarting the Game bar doesn’t fix this issue, we can try the steps mentioned below and check if that helps in resolving the issue:

1. Close the game and Game bar.
   
2. Press and hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc key to open
   Task Manager.
   
3. In Task Manager, click on more details.
   
4. From the list of running processes, look for
   Broadcast bar server (bcastdvr.exe), right click on it and select
   End task.
   
5. Restart your game and Game bar and try recording games.
   

You can also try updating Display drivers form Device manager to make sure the latest version of Display drivers are installed on the computer. To update the Display drivers, please follow the steps mentioned in the article
Update drivers in Windows 10.

For additional information, you can refer the article:

Hope it helps.

Record and Take Screenshots with Game Bar in Windows 10


Crazzzzzyyyy quick question but can this be used for things other then apps and games. Such as a way to record a program or a browser for helping make tutorials. The way I understand "Snipping Tool" can take screen shots as well as custom cutouts of the screen your on. And the "Steps Recorder" records the steps taken and can also apply notes to the steps. But can the Game Bar record things like a tutorial steps. Like by recording your screen as a video rather then just steps. Like I said above Crazy Question.
