Windows 10: Windows screen recorder doesn't record apps that go from windowed to full screen such as...

As a foreword, I had posted a thread like this on the Office 365 area but it is very clear that this issue is to do with the Windows Screen Recorder function not tracking window changes/apps producing a full screen view.


[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]This is an issue that has appeared recently. When using any formof MS screen recording, I used to select Powerpoint as my recorded applicationand then started a slide show on my chosen screen recording app Teams,Streams, Xbox Game Bar. The slide show would also be recorded and everythingwas normal.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]Very recently however, when I click into a Slide Show, the screenshare/recorder does not register the Slide Show as part of the Powerpointsoftware so it will not record the slide show. It only records the editing viewand will not track my presentation.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]These are the steps I have tried - no solution:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Installed Powerpoint 365 from PPT 2010 and this was fine forone day, before the issue started again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Different browsers tried Chrome, Edge, reinstalled both[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Teams as well as Game Bar[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Reinstalled graphics drivers
- Reset graphics settings[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Disabled Hardware Acceleration in PPT[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Switched between PCIe 4.0 and 3.0[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Presenter view, still nothing.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]- Record slide show works in PPT but the screen recorder will notrecord the new view.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]Essentially, the screen recorder treats the PPT and the slide showas two separate entities so will not switch from one to the other, as waspossible before. In order to record the Slide Show I need to start it first,before alt-tabbing to record. This is INCONVENIENT. Especially as there was noissue before.[/COLOR]

More testing - some strange patterns.

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]I’ve been testing various methods and solutions and I’ve got atiny bit of success. My first success was when I noticed that a brand newpresentation would enter the slide show view on the screen recording. This newpresentation had a 16:9 aspect ratio so I figured it may solve issues. It didn’t.

The second success was when I noticed that saving a .ppt file that alwaysworked with Teams before this problem as .pptx, it would work perfectly fine. This renamed filestill doesn’t work on PPT2010. Even renaming it and saving is fine.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]My third success came from testing #1 on a file that had describedissue. I realised that renaming my from “L1.0 – Organisation – Organ Systems.pptx”to “L1.0 – Organ Systems” with a 16:9 ratio caused it to be fixed. Furthertesting showed me that the “ – XXXX – “ part of the file name caused the issueto reappear when used, on pretty much all examples.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]Applying one or all of these has currently fixed the issue for meas workarounds, but the underlying problem remains. These methods only work onPPT 365, not PPT 2010.[/COLOR]
