Bug Report Black Screen with OBS minimized

[Ricky93]

Hello,
I'm trying to stream using monitor or game capture. Everything goes fine until I minimize OBS. I can only see the mouse cursor in a whole black background. If I open OBS again the black screen disappears and I can stream with no problems.
Ofc streaming with OBS open is impossible as Windows will automatic minimize it once I focus something else.

Can someone try to help me?
Thank you for your time.

OBS does not minimize when it loses focus, some third party software that you have installed is doing this, and most likely whatever third party software it is that you're using is also causing the OBS window to not update.

AHHHHHHHH
I figured it out. It needs to be started with administrator rights.
Can you make the .exe start like that by default? This is somewhat crucial, at least for me was.

Now I can finally uninstall this XSplit resource hungry bear

You can set compatibility options to always run it as admin.
