Can no longer capture windows on top of windows in Windows 10

[Zero X. Diamond]

As the title says, after upgrading my PC to Windows 10 from 7, OBS Studio no longer seems capable of capturing windows overlapping the one you're capturing. While this is normally a good thing, I do a lot of streaming of crappy Game Maker games, which often rely upon popups that are considered separate windows from the main program (e.g. text boxes, high score window, help, etc.) and none of those actually show up for me anymore. Is there any way I can replicate the old behavior short of using a display capture or something? Doing that would be inconvenient owing to how so many of these games arbitrarily change window resolution so I can't just, say, do a desktop capture cropped to a certain size.

The only way you can capture overlapping windows in Windows 10 is to use display capture with OBS. With window capture, the captured window is never overlaid with other windows, not even menus. This is a feature of the compositing desktop manager of Windows 10, previously called "Aero" under Windows 7. With Windows 7 you were able to disable compositing, as of Windows 8 this isn't possible any more. That's not an OBS thing, it's a Windows thing.
