How do I screen record a certain area on windows 10 pc?

At first, I thought Windows 10 Game Bar was only for games, and I didn't consider using it to record the screen. As a result, I was in a hurry to record a software operation, and I didn't have any screen recording software installed. I searched it temporarily and found that Game Bar can actually record windows! I tried it and it was actually quite useful, saving the trouble of installing software.

• Press Win + G to open Windows 10 Game Bar (if it doesn't respond, you may need to turn it on in "Settings" → "Games").
• Select the window to be recorded (such as a browser, software interface, etc.), and then click the **"Record" button** (or directly press Win + Alt + R).
• During the recording process, a small floating window will display the recording time, which can be minimized without affecting the operation.
• After recording, the video will be automatically saved in the "Video" → "Capture" folder in MP4 format.
  
  

1. You can't select a specific area to record, you can only record the entire window, and you can't freely select part of the content.
2. You can't record the desktop and file manager. If you want to record these scenes, you have to find another way.
3. The setting of recording system sound + microphone at the same time is relatively hidden and needs to be adjusted manually.

If you only need to record the software window and don't pursue fine-tuning, Windows 10 Game Bar is completely sufficient, easy and stable. Although it can't screen record a certain area on Windows like professional software, it is still good for recording games, software demonstrations, and meeting content!
