It seems the commands weren't rendered properly here at first. One more try:

reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR" /v AllowGameDVR /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

reg.exe add "HKCU\System\GameConfigStore" /v GameDVR_Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Yes, spot on.

    I see AppCaptureEnabled value is 0. It should be 1.

    Can you change that > Restart the PC and then verify if it goes back to 0?

    1. Press Windows key + R to open Run.
    2. Type regedit, then press Enter. If prompted, choose Yes.
    3. In Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
    4. In the right pane, find AppCaptureEnabled.
    5. To take a screenshot, press Windows key + Shift + S, then drag over the Registry Editor window or the value you want to show.
    6. Click the screenshot preview to save or copy it.

    Paste it in the next reply.
