Microsoft постоянно совершенствует свое детище, раз за разом внедряя в него новые функции. Относительно недавно, разработчики предоставили возможность пользователям Windows 10, автоматически записывать игры с помощью функции Xbox DVR, через подключенный аккаунт Xbox. В целом, задумка неплохая, но отнюдь не для тех, у кого слабые характеристики ПК.

В операционной системе Windows 10 появилась возможность записывать видео благодаря встроенному приложению Xbox DVR. Функция записи по умолчанию доступна всегда и активируется комбинацией клавиш Win+Alt+R.
Когда функция записи видео активирована, может снижаться значение FPS и могут возникать «фризы» как на низкопроизводительных конфигурациях, так и на достаточно мощных компьютерах.
Чтобы отключить запись видео:
- Нажмите Пуск, в строке поиска введите xbox (без кавычек). Когда в результатах появится приложение Xbox, запустите его.
- Запустив приложение, слева в меню выберите Settings, затем перейдите на закладку Game DVR и передвиньте ползунок параметра Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR в положение Off.

The Game Bar in Windows 10 is a tool designed to help gamers capture video, broadcast their gameplay online, take screenshots, and quickly access the Xbox app. It’s an efficient tool, but not everyone needs to use it nor wants it on their PC.

Here are a few ways you can disable or remove the Game Bar and some of the features associated with it that might be affecting your PCs performance.
