Question / Help Black Screen when recording - PC Win10

Very annoying. Black screen when recording, no matter what I try, I cant seem to get rid of it. My log file is:

17:58:30.988: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] attempting to hook fullscreen process: explorer.exe
17:58:30.988: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] cannot capture explorer.exe due to being blacklisted
17:58:30.988: [game-capture: 'Elite Dangerous'] attempting to hook fullscreen process: explorer.exe
17:58:30.988: [game-capture: 'Elite Dangerous'] cannot capture explorer.exe due to being blacklisted

You have to choose the application you want game capture to capture. It looks like you're trying to capture Windows Explorer, and that's not possible.

You're also overloading your GPU.

Thank you for your reply. I changed somethings to lighten the load. Still black screen but at least I have way forward.

This one confuses me tho....

You have to choose the application you want game capture to capture. It looks like you're trying to capture Windows Explorer, and that's not possible.

I cant see where I do that anywhere in the settings inside or outside

Right click your game capture source and choose Properties. When you add a game source to a scene you have to either choose a specific application, or have it capture any fullscreen application. If nothing is running, it's going to try and capture Explorer and fail.
