"Recording preferences" section not appearing in captures (Win 11 Home)
I want to record some clips when I play with my friends with the option "rec the last 30s" or something similar. Normally I use OBS Studio.
But I noticed that I cant click any button in Win+G (Game Bar) and in windows settings under "Recording Preferences" in Captures there is nothing.
I already tried:
