    Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

    Some games block keys, so your custom keyboard shortcuts might not work with these games.

    To use Game Bar with any game, check for updates and install the latest version of Game Bar:

    Get updates for apps and games in the Microsoft Store
