OBS and some Windows 10 apps

I'm trying to record educational videos (social distancing --> remote learning) using OBS. For some reason, OBS cannot seem to window capture Window 10 apps like Whiteboard or OneNote. On the other hand OBS can capture older programs like Paint. Whiteboard
is very smooth way to create content. Is there a fix for this?

 

Changed location of captured video

Hi,

If you can no longer see the location option on the capture folder, you may restore your Game DVR Captures folder location settings. After restoring the game DVR Captures folder location settings, then you can change your Game DVR Captures folder location
again. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

How to restore Game DVR Captures folder location settings

• Open File Explorer.
• Browse to the Captures folder location.
• Right-click the Captures folder and select Properties.
• Click the Location tab.
• Click the Restore Defaults button.
• Click Apply.
• Click Yes to recreate the folder in the old location.
• Click Yes to move the content of the Captures folder to the old location, and wait a few moments.
• Click OK.

Note: After you've completed the steps, the Captures folder will return with all its content to its default location: C:\Users\%username%\Videos\Captures.

After performing the steps above, try to change the location of your captured video.

Kindly update us with the results.

Windows Creators Update OBS problem! PLS FIX!

After the BIG Creators Update i saw the new "gaming" tab in settings . I was trying it to see if the game mode makes a difference in games. And no fps boost or something like this . I decided to disable this game mode (no reason to use it). In my opinion
the gaming tab in settings is useless becouse nobody will use windows to record something(The same in xbox app) . All people use OBS and Nvidia Shadowplay. And again that "gaming" options are useless in my opinion. I am sorry if that don't makes you happy
, but that's the truth about that update. And the big reason becouse I make that discussion is becouse OBS game capture is working verry bad after win update (for example my fps are around 70% lower than before and the games are choppy). We can use just display
capture in OBS.. so that's not good becouse it don't work perfect with the games(it also low your fps..not as good as game capture from before).

You gonna say that the problem must be solved by OBS but somehow Microsoft must help them abit becouse this problem is not solved yet.. All the people that have the latest version of windows and latest version of OBS can't use them together..compatibility problems.

And I think is becouse of the new useless "GAMING" update. I hope u understand me. And sorry for my bad english ) Thx!
