Recording via Xbox Game bar is not working on my computer

Question

I am trying to record from the Xbox Game bar on my PC. I was recording, and it worked fine for a while, but recording became unavailable while I was currently recording, so I do not know where the kicked recording went. I went back to try to record again, but it said

Gaming features are not available on windows 10 desktop or file explorer

EDIT: It worked in the minecraft menu but not in a minecraft world.
I did not have anything else running in the background. Is there a fix, or is there another service to record Minecraft Bedrock Edition gameplay?

I think you have the desktop active which is causing the issue.
Try pressing Win + G while in Minecraft next time.

You may also be able to do this from the Xbox Companion App.
Note that if you are streaming, some games have licensed music which may disable the ability, or disable the sound in the recording. Also, you will need to record from the desktop IF you are streaming to the Xbox App.
You can also record a certain number of minutes on the Xbox itself (settable in your account settings). If you set it for longer than one or two minutes, it may not always work properly - especially if you're running your hard drive near capacity. Just hit the Xbox key on the controller, followed by  That option may ALSO disappear, if you are already streaming, using some like the Twitch app, or the XBox Companiono on your PC.
