Anything else we should know?
I already clean installed NVIDIA driver, and OBS, and tried to rollback windows restore, and even re-installed OBS 30.2.3.
but problem is still remains the same.
If I keep run virtual desktop 2, then OBS working fine.
it is only happens when I switches to Desktop 1 or 3. I hope staffs address this problem as soon as possible, due to I am running VM instances with Vmware, and recording it's progress while I do other tasks in main monitor. thank you.
I cannot use bitbit because this VM uses Hardware Acceleration
