it says "There was a problem with background recording. Try again in a little while" I have background recordings on, game mode on and I did a lot of other stuff.

I fixed this for myself when I experienced the same problem

#

Took me 2 minutes to figure it out

#

It’s because Xbox Game Bar saves background recordings in the Captures folder

#

Once you get 50 clips in there

#

It won’t let you save any more recordings

#

You have to delete all of your clips from the Captures folder

#

Then it will work again

#

I have never recorded a clip @static venture

#

its my first time trying to use it

#

Check the Captures folder like I said

#

Empty it

#

Make sure the folder is empty

#

It’s on your OS drive

#

In videos folder

#

If the folder has anything inside besides gamebar clips

#

It breaks and refuses to work

#

There’s also a weird invisible limit of 50 clips

#

In case you deleted the Captures folder

#

Recreate it and it will send clips in there

#

You have to do it on the OS drive partition, inside user:your Microsoft account’s name:videos

#

If there isn’t a Captures folder in there, create one

#

Name it “Captures”

#

what does this have to do with background recording

static venture
#

Background recordings are saved in there
