First, "PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements for Game DVR".

But, FPS in-game is 30, locked by Game DVR.

People told me by disable the Game DVR.

But, the Game DVR option is greyed out because of "PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements for Game DVR".

Is this intended for Microsoft by telling me to buy a new pc/laptop?

    Hi,

    It looks like the components of your app have something to do with the error message that you are getting. Here are 2 methods on how to disable Game DVR or Game Bar in Windows 10:

    Method 1: Disable Game Bar & Game DVR

    1. Navigate your mouse cursor to Start Button, click it to expand the menu. From the expanded menu, chose the ‘All Apps’ entry. It is located at the very end of the menu. Click on All Apps and scroll until you find the Xbox entry. Upon finding it, click the button. If prompted, connect to the Internet.
    2. Next, when the Xbox screen appears look for the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner of the Xbox screen – the hamburger menu, and click on it. Now, scroll down to locate the Settings option.
    3. Click on Settings. Underneath the Settings title, three separate options will appear. Choose Game DVR.
    4. A slider denoting the ON position of Record game clips and take screenshots using Game DVR should be visible to you.  Slide it to the Off position for disabling the recording element of Game DVR.

    Method 2: How to turn off Xbox DVR through the Registry Editor

    1. Run regedit to open the Registry Editor and then navigate to the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR.

    1. Right-click AppCaptureEnabled and set its value to 0. A value of 1 enables it, whereas 0 disables it.

    Next navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore

    1. Right-click GameDVR_Enabled  and set its value to 0. A value of 1 enables it, whereas 0 disables it.

    The Game DVR feature on Windows 10 is enabled by default so that you can easily share the captured screen on popular social media network or store them locally to a PC. So, once you disable the feature, all the shortcuts will fail to respond. But if you do not have any need for it or if you face any performance issues while playing games, you might want to disable it.

    Let us know how it turns out.
