    I recently updated to Windows 10 2004 and when taking a picture ready for a May 2020 update question on Xbox Game Bar, the screen is black. This means that there are some limitations in Game Bar then Bandicam my screen recorder has.

    Xbox Game bar after uninstalling UWP and disabling UAC

    The Game DVR feature and specifically the in-game Game Bar that appears in compatible applications, is controlled by the Xbox Universal Windows Platform application, which is one of the default provisioned UWP applications.

    Yes

    In order to disable the Game DVR you have to disable it within the Xbox application.

    Source: How to Disable Windows 10’s Game DVR (and Game Bar)

    Once you disable the Game DVR functionality it will stay disabled.

    In order to turn UAC competely, open regedit, and navigate to following location.

    You are going to have to modify the value of EnableLUA to 0. Setting the UAC setting to it's lowest setting, within the Control Panel on Windows 10, does not actually disable UAC.

    Recordings from Game Bar show black screen

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the recordings using the Game Bar shows black screen. However, it would be great if you can reply with the details requested below:



    • Were you able to install the drivers?
    • Were you able to use the recording feature earlier?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    If you have updated the graphics driver, I would suggest you to try rolling back the drivers and see if that helps:



    1. Press the Windows Logo key + X key, and select
      Device manager.
    2. In Device manager, expand Display adapters.
    3. Right click on AMD driver and select
      Properties.
    4. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
    5. Restart the computer.


    You may also want to check whether the Xbox Game Monitoring service is running or not. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
      Run dialog box.
    2. Type services.msc and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Scroll down and look for Xbox Game Monitoring, and see if the service is running.
    4. If the service is not running, right click on the service and select
      Start.


    For additional information, see
    Troubleshoot Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10
    .



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.
