Windows 10: Video in a background window is going black as soon as I open another full screen window

The issue is happening across all app on windows 10. But I am only giving the example of Edge.


Issue Description:

I am in a meeting in google meet on Edge. I am recording the meeting with OBS studio using window capture feature. When the app is in foreground the video is being recorded without any issue. But when I am opening another edge window in full screen over the one where the meeting is going on, the video of the recording is going black.


This is probably a feature to save hardware resources but it is a big problem for me.


Note:

I have done this before with my laptop. My laptop did not have the issue

I am using the latest windows 10 version and GPU driver.

I have tried disabling hardware acceleration which did not work


Environment:

Windows 10 19042.804

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: RTX 2060
