  2. Windows 10 External Monitor only :: How to set Portrait orientation?

    Thanks Elise,

    I surmise the need for step recorder is not common enough to justify enabling the option for Intel driver.

    Screen Capture Mouse Cursor position on External Monitor is why I create this post.

    When it cannot capture Mouse Position, I use Steps Recorder but it records both Displays...

    My Screen Capture is used for following:

    1. Power Automate Cloud
    2. Office 365
    3. communicate to Tech Support
    Hoping Microsoft would add features to next version of

    1. Step Recorder
    2. Snip App(s)
    3. Windows Display setting
    Assuming most users like me need

    1. Mouse cursor position captured by Snip App(s)
    2. External monitor, when used, is often
      1. to extend Display
      2. used for important task(s)
      3. App such as Office is on External Display
      4. Laptop monitor for secondary task(s)
      5. Step Recorder is to demo use of Single App, therefore External Monitor
      6. Portrait oriented for capturing web pages like Power Automate
    Kind Regards,

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
