Quick Start Guide

The Display widget in Game Bar is your main interface for Auto SR to enable the feature per game, get setup guidance, and check status without leaving your game. Some steps also require adjustments in the game's own settings. To turn Auto SR on:

Launch your game: You may see a notification that Auto SR is available.
Enable Auto SR: Open the Auto SR tab in the Display widget by clicking the notification or press or Win + G and go to Widgets Menu > Display > Auto SR. Turn on the following toggles:
- Always use with this game
- Show in-game status indicator
Adjust resolution and display mode (if needed): Auto SR applies only when the toggle from step 2 is on and you're using a supported resolution and display mode.
- In the game settings, select a supported resolution
- Set the display mode to Fullscreen or Exclusive Fullscreen.
Check display settings (if Auto SR is still off): In the General tab of the Display widget, change the display resolution to a supported value.
Confirm Auto SR is being applied: Look for the Auto SR status indicator in the game window and enjoy! If the indicator is not visible, check the Auto SR tab in the Display widget for details about what needs to be fixed.

Note: Next time you launch this game, Auto SR turns on automatically as long as the resolution and display mode remain at supported settings.

Auto SR Game Bar Widget Overview

The Auto SR tab in the Display widget shows whether Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) is active for your current game, and if not, why not without leaving the game. There are two main pieces: the widget itself and Game Bar notifications.

The Current Status shows whether Auto SR is active for the running game. Potential statuses include:

On: Auto SR is actively enhancing your game.
Off, Action Required: Auto SR is enabled for the game, but not currently active due to an unsupported resolution or needing to restart your game.
Off: Auto SR is turned off for the game and not actively running.

Always use with this game toggle is used to turn Auto SR on or off for the game. This can be used while the game is running to toggle it on and off to see the difference in visual quality. This is equivalent to the per-game setting in Window Settings described below.

Show in-game status indicator toggle is used to turn on an in-game indicator to easily tell whether or not Auto SR is running on your game. When on & active, you will see this icon in the corner of your game screen:
