I want to use the windows inbuilt recording tool which they provided in Windows 10 for recording my screen. But, not just during the time I play games, also for other purposes as well. But Win+Alt+R doesn't seem to work while not playing games. How can I use Win+Alt+R to record my screen manually and not use any external tool like (Fraps, CamStudio).

If you follow the directions found here it will help you.

  1. Locate and run the Xbox App
  2. With the Xbox app running launch the app you want to record and press Windows Key + G
  3. Tell the Xbox recording app that you want to open the Game bar by telling it the program is a game.
  4. Once the Game Bar is loaded choose your action, either Screenshot or Start Recording.

  • bud as i mentioned I don't want to use this feature while playing games and stuff. I use `Torch browser` and when I play games on facebook online. Windows recording automatically pops-up and it records really well. Other than any tool out there in market. So, just wondering if I can mess around with some Registry and make it as universal recording tool? I don't even use Xbox App – abhimanyuaryan Aug 12 '15 at 20:21
  • You can use it just for this. I don't use the Xbox App for playing games, just for recording my desktop. – Unfundednut Aug 12 '15 at 20:22
  • try this :- Install `Torch browser`. And once you are in torch just press `win+alt+R` it would start recording your screen. Xbox App not even needed. – abhimanyuaryan Aug 12 '15 at 20:24
  • This doesn't work. Windows + G prompts for it being a game, but the check box won't check. It just vanishes when clicked on. – Brian Knoblauch May 15 '17 at 19:31
