Microsoft Windows has an Xbox Game Bar application that allows you to screenshot and record games. Most PC games are compatible with it. You can record anything on your PC screen-free using Xbox Game Bar as a screen recorder. Despite being valuable, not everyone always makes use of it. Even gamers frequently complain about it being laggy and unresponsive. Sometimes it even causes games to freeze, run slowly, or stop working altogether.

  1. To access Windows Settings, press "Windows + I." Go to "Gaming."

  2. Then select the option of "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using the Game bar." The "Open Game bar with this button on a controller" checkbox should be deselected.
