  1. Why doesn't screen recording record the selected window?


    When I press Windows + Alt + R, what window does it record? I thought I was recording 14 minutes of a game, but it was just recording the settings window that I had open, even though that wasn't the window I selected. I started recording long after I selected my game's window, so why did it record settings?

    :)

    Hiding private records

    Hello Jaap,



    I already tried your suggestion, but it doesn' t affect the record after transferring it to Windows Mobile.



    By, the way, working with Outlook, even a private record is viewable.



    Thank you for your comment.
