Windows 10: How to skip human intervention needed for Steps Recorder for all actions from same instance...

How to fix Steps Recorder missing recording when there is document opened automatically by App?Example is: Once Word finished the translation, it will open this as a new document and Steps Recorder is easily mistaken to end there, while not capture Message in new document.My workaround is to switch Window to new document to capture all actions of same instance of App.Is it possible to have Steps Recorder include any document automatically opened by App?Following is what happens if no human intervention for Word Translate which opens new document.

Steps Recorder there... but not there

I seemed to have been saved by a link to this fix:
Please use regedit to rename hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows\AppCompat - changeAppCompat to AppCompat_HOLD . Then try launching PSR again.
Tried it and now Steps Recorder seems to be working as it should.
But to follow up on your suggestion, I'm going to try to find and repair the corrupt files that my sfc scan found... after setting a restore point!
Thanks for your help.

 

Steps Recorder there... but not there

Are you trying to use this? - C:\Windows\System32\psr.exe
[Start menu, Windows accessories, Steps recorder - but often referred to as the Problem steps recorder]

It is supposed to launch a small UI dialog and it should also be shown on the Taskbar but, from your description, this does not happen. Does anything happen at all?
