Hit the Windows key and G, and a popup will appear asking if you would like to open Game bar there are no Yes and No buttons, but check the 'Yes, this is a game' box (you will have to do this the first time you access the screen recorder in any application).

Start with pressing the standard record button to start the screen recording. Hit the button again to stop recording. Or you can even use the keyboard shortcut of Windows key + Alt + R to start/stop the screen capture. The Settings button can be used to place a limit on the length of videos that can be recorded. This limit is very helpful to prevent filling up your hard drive if you forget to stop a recording. Videos are saved in MP4 format in the Videos\Captures folder.
