Xbox game bar does not record

Report · Jun 13, 2025

Win + Alt + R recording of what I do on Premiere Pro - does not work.
(non-shortcut "standard" recording also doesn't work either)

Version 25.2.3 (Build 4)

xbox app has been "repaired" and "reset" - no use.
There were "Game bar" related issues, but I was unable to find the identical problem.

How am I supposed to post a bug report if I can't even show it?

Respectfully,
GJ
