Windows 10
As the team from Thurrott.com reports, the recently released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17046 has discovered early code of the new Game Bar, which is to be introduced with “Redstone 4”. It apparently replaces the currently very small and blue held Game Bar of Windows 10 and should be based for the first time on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). This also allows them to take advantage of the effects available to other UWP apps.

On top of that, the new Game Bar can be used not only in a light but also in a dark version, so that every user can customize it to their own taste.Also new are the animations when opening and closing the bar.

At the new Game Bar, Microsoft seems to focus more on settings that are particularly relevant to users who broadcast their gaming sessions to other Internet services via blenders. These include buttons for recording video and audio.Of course, the work on the new Game Bar is far from over, after all, Microsoft has not officially presented it yet. Accordingly, some buttons are not in the right place or the wrong size.
