    Opening Game Bar Covers Whole Screen including the area to record and won't close


    When I use Windows G to open game bar the capture widget covers the entire screen I can't close it. I restarted and but whenever I do Windows G it covers the whole screen. I can select record but can't tell what it's recording. It also doesn't actually show my captures. I have to go to the. folder to Check that. I can't take screenshots of what it looks like because it covers everything. I am using it on a Microsoft surface tablet. I don't have a keyboard yet. I use the one on screen, so I can't go full screen and use the shortcut for recording because the keyboard isn't available in full screen. Why is the captures widget so big? How can I close it so I can see the screen I'm recording?

    :)

    Could be something related to your device and not the game bar in self, maybe a bad Windows installation if both didn't worked

    I changed the transparency in the personalization menu, however all widgets remain completely opaque.

    There was an update and I installed that. After it a saw I could open and close the captures widget with a button on the menu bar. Also if I set the display size to 175% instead of the recommended 200% I can see the borders of the captures widget and the text isn't too small. I prefer the 200% because it's easier to select things accurately, so I'll likely stick to that.

    I'm glad I have options. not sure why transparency and resizing don't work

    The bottom isn't moving. Where can I adjust transparency? It could be because it's a tablet and I don't have an external keyboard or mouse.
