To set your resolution and upscale everything to 4K:
- To capture game footage, make sure the Record in the background while I’m playing a game checkbox is selected in Game Bar settings (or turn it on in Windows Settings > Gaming > Captures).
- For some PC games, Game Bar won’t appear in full screen mode. To start and stop recordings without Game Bar, use the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key + Alt + R. The screen will flash to indicate the start and end of recording. If background recording is on, Windows logo key + Alt + G will record the last moments of play.
- If the shortcuts don’t work for a full-screen game, press the Windows logo key + G. The screen will flash twice to confirm that the game is recognized. Then, re-open the game in full screen mode.
