Windows 10中的游戏栏试图为(Game Bar)Windows计算机带来一点Xbox的魔力。只需按下Windows键和 G，您就可以随时召唤游戏栏(Game Bar)。这使您可以快速查看与游戏相关的通知并激活游戏录制等功能。
通常它既快速又方便，但一些用户发现当他们尝试召唤通常值得信赖的游戏栏(Game Bar)时，什么也没有发生。或者，游戏栏(Game Bar)确实按预期显示，但它的某些功能无法正常工作。
你能做什么？实际上，很多事情。
1.检查游戏栏是否启用(Game Bar Is Enabled)
即使您的Game Bar之前运行良好，Windows 更新(Windows update)或其他一些后台系统更改也可能会禁用它。因此，您应该始终检查Game Bar切换。
为此，请按照下列步骤操作：
- 打开开始菜单。
- 转到Settings>Gaming
- 选择Xbox 游戏栏( Xbox Game Bar)
- 确保使用 Xbox Game Bar 录制游戏剪辑、屏幕截图和广播(Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Xbox Game Bar )已打开。
如果它已经打开，请尝试将其关闭并再次打开。如果它仍然不起作用，那么是时候采取更严厉的措施了。
2.重启你的电脑
是的，您的下一步应该是简单地重新启动机器。这解决了数量惊人的Windows问题，有时包括Windows 游戏栏。(Windows Game Bar)
3. 确保 Windows 已更新
Game Bar是Windows的一项功能，因此有时通过(Windows)Windows更新可以提高游戏兼容性和总体稳定性。如果您有一段时间没有更新Windows，则值得检查是否有任何更新到期。当您使用它时，请同时更新您的GPU驱动程序和软件，因为它们有时会干扰Game Bar。
4.在无边界窗口模式下(Borderless Windowed Mode)运行游戏(Run Games)
大多数现代视频游戏默认在无边框窗口中运行，但许多较旧的游戏默认为独家全屏模式。检查游戏的设置，看看它是否设置为全屏模式，如果可能，然后更改为无边框窗口。
有些游戏在全屏独占模式下会阻止游戏栏出现，因此这可能是您看不到它弹出的原因之一。(Game Bar)
请注意，在无边框窗口中运行某些游戏会对性能产生负面影响。使用无边框窗口时，您通常也无法使用HDR模式。(HDR)
5.使用直接快捷方式
仅仅因为在某些游戏中使用快捷方式时游戏栏(Game Bar)没有弹出，并不意味着它实际上没有工作。例如，如果您只想开始或停止录制，您可以使用键盘快捷键激活它。
要开始或停止录制您当前正在玩的游戏，请按Win + Alt + R。要截屏，请按Win + Alt + Print Screen. 在您尝试记录重要内容之前，请务必进行测试以确保它确实有效。
6.检查热键设置
Win + G快捷键是Windows 游戏栏(Windows Game Bar)的默认快捷键，但可以自定义。这意味着它不起作用的一个可能原因是有人更改了组合。要检查当前的快捷方式是什么：
- 打开开始菜单(Start Menu)。
- 前往Settings > Gaming.
- 选择Xbox 游戏栏。( Xbox Game Bar.)
- 在Keyboard Shortcuts下，确保Win + G组合仍然有效。
当然，当您在这里时，您可以随意更改内容，只是不要忘记您选择了哪些新的热键组合！
7.添加(Add)Windows 10 KN 和N 附加安装(N Additional Installations)
出于法律原因，此处无法详述，有些版本的Windows 10未附带安装所有媒体组件。如果您有Windows 10 KN 或 N，则必须手动下载Windows Media 功能包(Windows Media Features pack)并安装它，然后Game Bar才能正常工作。
8.重置游戏栏应用
让您的Game Bar再次工作的一种好方法是将其重置为默认设置。因此，如果某些内容已损坏，您可以将其恢复为第一次使用时的状态。
去做这个：
- 打开开始菜单(Start Menu)并搜索添加或删除程序(Add or Remove Programs)。然后选择它。
- 在应用程序列表中查找Xbox Game Bar。
- 在 Xbox Game Bar 条目中选择高级选项。(Advanced Options)
- 选择重置(Reset)。
请记住(Remember)，所有应用程序数据都将被删除，因此如果您想安全起见，请确保备份您的录音。
9. 检查您的游戏是否允许录音(Game Allows Recordings)
您所有的挫败感都可能归结为某些游戏出于某种原因不允许录制这一事实。如果Game Bar只是拒绝与特定游戏一起工作，并且不是独家全屏问题，请打谷歌(Google)，看看其他人是否也无法记录标题。
如果事实证明不只是你，那么你可能不走运。再说一次， Game Bar(Game Bar)以外的其他应用程序可能也能做到。
10.使用游戏栏替代品
Game Bar很棒，因为它包含在Windows中并且在大多数情况下运行良好，但它远非唯一的选择。当然也不是最强的！
两家主要的GPU制造商都创建了自己的软件。对于Nvidia，它被称为ShadowPlay，是GeForce Experience软件包的一部分。AMD将他们的解决方案称为ReLive。
在这两种情况下，您都会获得与Xbox Game Bar(Xbox Game Bar)具有相似功能的游戏覆盖。但是，专为与您的特定显卡配合使用的软件可能具有更广泛的游戏兼容性并且对性能的影响较小。
也有第三方选项。许多专业游戏流媒体依赖于一个名为OBS的(OBS)开源(Open Source)应用程序，它是Open Broadcast Software的缩写。虽然OBS可能不那么光鲜，需要更多时间来学习，但它的用途非常广泛，可以同时从多个来源录制。
游戏没有门槛
希望(Hopefully)这些简单的修复将重新开始您成为著名游戏之神的旅程。毕竟，如果你没有视频证据，怎么会有人知道你有多熟练呢？无论是Game Bar还是我们目前拥有的任何其他出色选择，只需轻按一下按钮即可保存您的成就。
Xbox Game Bar Not Working? 10 Fixes to Try
The Game Bar in Windows 10 tries to bring a little of that Xbox magic to Windows computers. By simply pressing the Windows key and G, you can summon the Game Bar at any time. This allows you to quickly check in on your gaming-related notifications and activate features such as game recording.
Usually it’s fast and convenient, but some users are finding that when they try to summon the usually trusty Game Bar, nothing happens. Alternatively, the Game Bar does appear as expected, but some of its functionality isn’t working.
What can you do? Quite a few things, actually.
1. Check That the Game Bar Is Enabled
Even if your Game Bar was working just fine before, a Windows update or some other background system change may have disabled it. So your step should always be to check the Game Bar toggle.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Start Menu.
- Go to Settings>Gaming
- Select Xbox Game Bar
- Ensure that Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Xbox Game Bar is on.
If it is already on, try toggling it off and on again. If it still won’t work then it’s time to move on to more drastic measures.
2. Restart Your Computer
Yes, your next step should be to simply restart the machine. This resolves a surprising number of Windows problems and that includes the Windows Game Bar sometimes.
3. Make Sure Windows Is Updated
Game Bar is a Windows feature, so sometimes game compatibility and general stability is improved with a Windows update. If you haven’t updated Windows in a while, it’s worth checking if any updates are due. While you’re at it, update your GPU drivers and software as well, since these can interfere with Game Bar at times.
4. Run Games in Borderless Windowed Mode
Most modern video games run in a borderless window by default, but many older titles default to an exclusive full screen mode. Check the game’s settings to see if it’s set to full screen mode and then change to a borderless window if possible.
Some games prevent the Game Bar from appearing when they are in full screen exclusive mode, so that’s one possible reason you aren’t seeing it pop up.
Just be aware that running some games in a borderless window can have a negative effect on performance. You also generally can’t make use of HDR modes when using a borderless window.
5. Use Direct Shortcuts
Just because the Game Bar doesn’t pop up when you use its shortcut in certain games, doesn’t mean that it isn’t actually working. If all you want to do is start or stop a recording, for example, you can activate it using a keyboard shortcut.
To start or stop a recording of the game that you’re currently playing, press Win + Alt + R. To take a screenshot, press Win + Alt + Print Screen. Just be sure to do a test that it’s actually working before you try to record something crucial.
6. Check the Hotkey Setting
The Win + G shortcut key is the default for the Windows Game Bar, but it can be customized. Which means that one possible reason it isn’t working is because someone has changed the combo. To check what the current shortcut is:
- Open the Start Menu.
- Go to Settings > Gaming.
- Select Xbox Game Bar.
- Under Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure the Win + G combo is still valid.
Of course, while you’re here you can change things as you like, just don’t forget which new hotkey combinations you’ve chosen!
7. Add Windows 10 KN and N Additional Installations
For legal reasons that are too lengthy to go into here, there are some versions of Windows 10 that don’t ship with all of the media components installed. If you have Windows 10 KN or N, you’ll have to manually download the Windows Media Features pack and install it before Game Bar will work properly.
8. Reset the Game Bar App
One good way to get your Game Bar working again is to reset it back to default settings. So if something has become corrupted, you can just take it back to the way it was when you first used it.
To do this:
- Open the Start Menu and search for Add or Remove Programs.Then Select it.
- Look for Xbox Game Bar in the list of applications.
- Select Advanced Options in the Xbox Game Bar entry.
- Select Reset.
Remember that all app data will be deleted, so make sure you have backups of your recordings if you want to be safe.
9. Check if Your Game Allows Recordings
All of your frustration may come down to the fact that some games just don’t allow recording for one reason or another. If Game Bar only refuses to work with a specific game and it’s not an exclusive full-screen issue, hit up Google and see if other people are also unable to record the title.
If it turns out that it’s not just you, then you may be out of luck. Then again, another application other than Game Bar may be able to do it.
10. Use Game Bar Alternatives
Game Bar is great because it’s included with Windows and works well most of the time, but it’s far from the only option. It’s certainly not the most powerful either!
Both of the major GPU manufacturers have created their own software. In the case of Nvidia, it’s called ShadowPlay and is part of the GeForce Experience software package. AMD refers to their solution as ReLive.
In both cases you get a game overlay with similar functionality as the Xbox Game Bar. However, the software that’s designed to work with your specific graphics card may have wider game compatibility and less of a performance impact.
There are third-party options as well. Many professional game streamers rely on an Open Source application called OBS, which is short for Open Broadcast Software. While OBS may be a little less glossy and takes more time to learn, it’s incredibly versatile and can record from multiple sources at once.
There’s No Bar to Gaming
Hopefully these simple fixes will have restarted your journey to becoming a famous gaming god. After all, how is anyone supposed to know how masterful you are if you don’t have video evidence of it? Whether it’s Game Bar or any of the other excellent choices we have these days, preserving your achievements is just the tap of a button away.
