    What is capturing my screen?


    There is a yellow border around every focussed app, and a yellow line underneath the app's icon on the taskbar. I am aware this is a security feature from Microsoft. I can't figure out what is causing it / what is recording my screen. It is constant from startup to shutdown. While I do have both Discord and OBS Studio installed, the border and line are still present even when they are not open. I have malwarebytes and ran a scan, which reports that there is no threats, and this agrees with the built-in Windows Firewall. I am running Windows 11 22H2. How could I figure out what is capturing my

    Screen Capture software

    Hi,

    Upon checking on your concern, we have found a suggestion that may help you take a screenshot of the dropdown menu using the Snipping tool. Please follow the steps below:

    • Launch Snipping tool.
    • Right-click the menu you wish to take a screenshot.
    • Press CTRL + Fn+ Print Scrn.
    • Once you've already taken the print screen of the menu, you may try using the snipping tool and check if it will be able to capture the drop down menu.

    Let us know how it goes.

    What is capturing my screen?

    TPU Capture

    Great tool, fantastic. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/search.php?q=tpucapture

    For all those that dont know TPU Capture... its a screenshot tool that allows fullscreen or selected box screen capture... WITH automatic upload to TPU server. It saves a lot of steps. Great. Recommended.

    BUGS

    1./ TPU Capture can only capture Screen 1. It cannot capture 2nd screen (or more)
    2./ If TPU Capture window is moved to the second screen, then at some point the PC has only one screen, ie. not connected, disabled, etc. The TPU Capture window is "lost in space". It is not coming back to what screen real-estate actually exists. This may occur with resolution changes also.

    Hope bugs can be fixed, but even with bugs its very useful utility *Toast :toast:
