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.

    I've had the same problem. Updating, Reset, Repair, Registry Updates, Administraitor scans, and all of that doesn't work. It doesn't let me do anything. Someone please help

    This step worked for me after confirming the settings in the registry

    If you are not using Windows 11 Home but Pro or an advanced edition, there is another solution for you. If you cannot open Xbox Game Bar, perhaps this app is forced to keep disabled by the Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting policy.

    Step 1: Press Win + R, type in gpedit.msc and click OK.

    Step 2: Go to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Windows Components> Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting.

    Step 3: Double-click on Enables or disables Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting and choose Enabled. Then, save the change.

    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.
