I've just tried to capture some gameplay on Windows 11 and the capture setting on xbox game bar are greyed out.

I have tried to repair, reset and enable the app for recording and broadcasting and even checked for any updates but no matter what I try the app doesn't work.

Is this a Windows 11 issue ?

    I have the same issue. Everything is enabled in the settings, but I cannot use any of the capture buttons. They remain greyed out permanently.

    I'm also having this issue currently; I have tried the registry thing, but I am still unable to access the buttons on my Xbox game bar. Could my game bar be corrupt?

    I just had the same issue. I deleted and redownloaded game bar, did this, did that, nothing is working.
