Video saved by Windows built-in screen recording tool
The built-in screen recording tool in Windows automatically saves recorded videos, but if the screen locks during recording, it won't save. How can I retrieve it? I used the built-in screen recording...
Unfortunately, if the Windows built-in screen recorder (Game Bar / Xbox Game Bar) was interrupted by a lock screen or system shutdown during the recording, the recorded video is typically not saved or recoverable. The tool is designed to save recordings automatically when you stop or pause it properly, but it does not save recordings if the system crashes, the app is closed unexpectedly, or the system locks during recording.
