Hi, I just upgraded to Windows 11. My gamebar capture stopped working, like the buttons aren't working. I have tried repair and reset on Setting with Gamebar but still not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? The buttons aren't clickable and I cant use the record shortcut.

    The first things he tells you is that those features don't work and then the FIRST thing you say to do is the things that haven't worked, are you even paying attention guy lol

    Nope, that did not help. I tried other steps too but they didn’t work either, even after resetting the PC.

    Use Registry Editor You can modify the GameDVR value in Registry Editor to make sure the Xbox Game Bar component remains enabled to fix your issue. Follow the guide below:

    Step 1: Launch Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit to the search box and clicking the result.

    Step 2: Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR.

    Step 3: If you cannot find the AppCaptureEnabled key, right-click on the space and choose New > DROWD (32-bit) Value. Name it as AppCaptureEnabled. Then, double-click on it to set the value data to 1.

    I tried this a month ago and it worked. It had been working since then but now I'm back where I started, same grayed out buttons. I checked the registry, and the value data is still 1. Any ideas?
