  1. Xbox Game Bar Not Working


    So I've been needing to take a lot of screenshots now that I started playing Phasmophobia and I expected to do it with Xbox Game Bar by pressing (Windows Key + G) but nothing happened so I tried to open it manually (which I hope I don't have to do because I need quick screenshot) and then Xbox Game Bar opened but I couldn't record nor take screenshots (the entire capture menu was disabled) and I found a really common solution that a lot of people seem to do, is that to go to the Game Bar Settings in settings and turn on Record game clips ... but whenever I do that it doesn't work and if I go back to check the settings again the option has turned itself back off and I've done that multiple times but Game Bar still doesn't open via shortcut or doesn't let me capture anything. I also went to the Microsoft website to seek help and the website told me to make sure that my Windows was fully upgraded and I went to check for updates and it told me to update some stuff and while I was updating to Windows Version 20H2 right when I finished the 2 hour-long update it told me the update failed and now I'm seeking the last help resort, Reddit. I just wanted to ask if the problem is in not updating my Windows or could it be something else.

    Microphone not working with Xbox game bar

    My son is trying to record his playing on roblox using Xbox game bar. He is using a laptop on windows 10.

    It was working fine a few days ago. Now he is having problems with the microphone. When he brings up the xbox game bar, (windows G), the menu says that the microphone is not working because of privacy settings.

    When I go to the privacy settings for microphone, I gave permission to use the microphone for all the listed apps. But xbox game bar is not one of the listed apps. I also tried "reset" on the xbox game bar which did not help.

    How can I give permission to the xbox game bar to access the microphone?

    Microphone itself is working. I can use it on Cortana.

    Thanks

    HW
