Windows 10: Can you still take a screenshot and blur the inactive window in MS Windows 11?

I have just upgraded to MS Windows 11 Pro from 10 Pro, and there are a lot of things that have changed.I used to be able to take a screenshot of the entirety of my 1st monitor and the inactive windows of that monitor would be blurred out.The only problem is, I don't know if this was being achieved by a 3rd party program that I may not have installed on my new setup, or if it was a Microsoft feature.In any case, when I take a screenshot now, both active AND inactive windows show up unimpeded.Can someone please tell me if this was a Microsoft feature that is now gone and if so - is there any

:)

 

Persistent Blurring Issue on Windows 11 with High-Resolution Display

Hello,

I'm encountering a challenging issue on my Windows 11 system that I hope to get some insights on. My system exhibits a persistent blurring effect around windows or applications when they are not in active use. This problem is notably pronounced with certain applications like Visual Studio Code and the OBS stream chat. The issue seems to be system-wide and independent of the application in use.

System Specifications:

• Operating System: Windows 11
  
• Display: High-resolution (2560x1440) on a 32-inch monitor
  
• Display 2: 1080x1920 (Vertical) 27 inch monitor.
  

Symptoms:

• Blurring effect around inactive windows or parts of the screen, affecting multiple applications.
  

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Updated all graphics and system drivers.
  
• Adjusted High DPI scaling settings and experimented with custom scale settings in Windows.
  
• Reinstalled affected applications.
  
• Attempted various display and system settings adjustments, including changing resolution, scaling, and refresh rate settings.
  

Temporary Resolution Attempt:

• Changing the monitor setting from "Auto" to "Wide" provided temporary relief, but the issue later reoccurred.
  

Additional Context:

• The blurring seems to activate when focus shifts away from a window or application.
  
• Standard display setting adjustments and driver updates have not resolved the issue.
  

Despite these efforts, the issue persists and is impacting my workflow significantly. I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or guidance on further troubleshooting steps. Has anyone else experienced something similar or can offer advice on resolving this?

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
