Issue with Xbox Game Bar Recording Functionality

Dear Community,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to report an issue I am experiencing with the Xbox Game Bar on my Windows system. Previously, I was able to record my screen using the shortcut Win + Alt + G without any problems. However, recently, the recording function has become disabled, and I am no longer able to start recordings using this shortcut.

This issue is quite inconvenient, as the feature was working properly before, and I rely on it regularly. I have checked my system settings but have not been able to resolve the problem.

Could you please provide guidance or a solution to enable the recording functionality again?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hello!

This issue may occur due to bugs in the Xbox Game Bar app, which has the screen recording feature. Try reinstalling the app.

Type "'PowerShell" in the Search Bar > Right-click on the app > Select ''Run as administrator''.
Now we will enter the following commands.

NOTE: Type or copy the entire command in the first line > Press ENTER > Wait for command completion > Run next command from the list.

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

When finished, restart your computer > See if the problem will persist.

This command will reinstall all native Windows apps, including Xbox Game Bar.
