[BUG] Screen Recording Abruptly Stops When Opening Certain Binary Editing Software #20

Open mofengboy opened 1 month ago

mofengboy commented 1 month ago

Description

While using Windows 11 Professional Edition (23H2, 64-bit), I've encountered an issue where starting certain binary editing applications causes the screen recording to end prematurely without any error notifications. The applications in question are:

Despite the screen recording software indicating that recording is proceeding normally, as soon as I open either of the above applications, the recording stops. When I finish recording, the output video only shows content up until the point where the binary editing software was launched.

System Specifications

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start screen recording with [Simple-Screen-Recorder].
  2. Open either 010 Editor or WinHex v21.0 Pro x86.
  3. Notice that the screen recording continues to display as normal, with no error messages.
  4. Stop the screen recording.
  5. Review the recorded video and observe that the playback freezes at the moment when the binary editing software was opened.

Do you perform any special operations with 010 Editor and WinHex? Or does the screen recorder conflict just by opening the applications?

I used these apps, and I didn't get any errors: Video using 010 Editor and WinHex

Thank you very much for your response. I indeed simply opened the mentioned software without performing any additional operations. However, upon further investigation, I found that the anomaly seems to be caused by another reason. I discovered that not only these two applications but any application with a small shield icon on its application icon leads to the same issue. I looked up some information and found that this small shield symbol is a feature of Windows Vista and above operating systems - UAC (User Account Control), indicating that the program requires administrator privileges to run.

I hope this information is helpful to you, and if there are any tests that you need me to perform, I will try my best to provide assistance.

Well, from the beginning I'd no idea about this problem since I have disabled UAC on my PC (it's so annoying). Right now, I'm looking for alternatives on how to solve the problem, it is between creating a certificate or creating a Windows service. I'll see what I can do. I will let you know if I succeed.

The only way at the moment not to interrupt the recording is to disable UAC, although it is not recommended.
