    I've been struggling with unable to mouse lock in games and have recently discovered that it is because of when I have Xbox game bar active. I use it quite frequently to join friends on Xbox so didn't realise it was because of that Any fixes?

    Xbox Game Bar doesn't show FPS

    Xbox Game Bar not displaying FPS information despite trying various troubleshooting steps. While the Xbox Game Bar is designed to work on Windows 10 Home as well, it's possible that certain settings or configurations are causing the issue. Here are some additional steps you can try:

    Check Game Bar Settings:

    • Open the Xbox Game Bar by pressing Win + G.
    • Click on the settings (gear) icon in the Game Bar overlay.
    • Ensure that the "Performance" overlay is enabled. You can toggle it on here.
    Check Graphics Card Compatibility:

    • Make sure that your graphics card is compatible with the Xbox Game Bar's performance overlay features. Check the manufacturer's documentation for compatibility information.
    Create a New Local User Account:

    • Since you mentioned that you don't have the "Local Users and Groups" feature available on Windows 10 Home, you can try creating a new local user account and see if the Game Bar functions properly there.
    Use Registry Editor (Advanced, proceed with caution):

    • Press Win + R, type "regedit," and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
    • Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
    • Look for a key called AppCaptureEnabled. If it's not present or set to 0, it might be causing the issue. Set it to 1.

    Xbox game bar causing games to not lock cursor

    Xbox Game Bar Recording Mouse Cursor Misaligned

    Hello, I have had this issue for quite a while with Xbox Game Bar I've tried multiple stuff such as changing my resolutions to try and fix it, reinstalling Game Bar itself and what not but I still have found no fix to this issue. The problem occurs while I'm trying to record a gameplay and the game doesn't really matter as I've tried other games and there's same problem everywhere, the mouse cursor in the recording has an offset and it's very misaligned as you can see in the recording. I don't know what is causing this, but it's been annoying me for the past months, and I was unable to use Xbox Game Bar for a while.
