Windows 10: "Gaming features aren't available for windows desktop or file explorer"

Hi! I'm trying to record my desktop using the xBox game bar. After I launch Game Bar, the option to record is greyed out. I get the error message "Gaming features aren't available for windows desktop or file explorer". I have enabled everything related to XBox Game Bar in Settings.I've tried all the suggested steps at this website:Why gaming features aren't available on the Windows desktop? windowsreport.comand also tried this from MicroSoft:Have you tried to reinstall the app using PowerShell? To do that open a PowerShell Windows in Administrator mode and run the following command: Get-AppX

:)

 

Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks

 

About Game Explorer

Hi,

There is a way on how you can get the Game Explorer folder back on your Windows 10 if it is not available. To help you with this, kindly follow the steps below:

• On the desktop, press Windows key + R keys simultaneously.
• On the Run box, kindly type shell:games and press
  Enter.
• The Games folder should be up on your screen after step 2.
• On the taskbar, right-click the games folder and click
  Pin this program to taskbar.

Following these steps should completely bring back the Game Explorer folder back on your list, just like what you have had on your Windows 7 before.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
