PC hardware is nice, but it’s not much use without innovative software. I’ve been reviewing software for PCMag since 2008, and I still get a kick out of seeing what's new in video and photo editing software, and how operating systems change over time. I was privileged to byline the cover story of the last print issue of PC Magazine, the Windows 7 review, and I’ve witnessed every Microsoft win and misstep up to the latest Windows 11. Microsoft's desktop operating system has long had numerous options for capturing images from your PC’s screen, perhaps too many.

You should also see a Capture panel, but if this is not visible, click the Capture button in the main toolbar -- it is next to the Audio button and (almost) looks like a camera. Configure Game Bar settings (Image credit: Future) There are a few options that you can configure from within the Game Bar itself, and you can access them by clicking the Settings button to the far right of the toolbar -- the one that looks like a cog. When you are in Settings, move to the Capturing section and you can choose whether recording should happen in the background or only when a game, or app, has focus.
