Display Capture capturing literally everything??

In all the time I have been using obs (about 8 months to a year) it has never done this. I use Display Capture to display my screen and browser when streaming, however just recently in the past week, I did not change a single setting and yet Display Capture is now capturing every game I go into, so let's say I want to buy something in a game on stream but the payment info shows up in game, I change it to my scene for my browser with my Display Capture, yet it just keeps capturing the game even when I'm no longer using game capture and it's not even in the other scene for my browser, I have tried using Window Capture, however it is much more annoying and tedious than Display Capture and I don't like it as much. When I use Game Capture however, it works perfectly fine, it captures just the game I'm playing and nothing else. I don't understand what could be causing this and I don't know how to fix it, it has been troubling me. If anyone knows how to fix this issue or is having the same issue I hope you can share this around at the very least, your help is very much appreciated.

P.S. here is evidence of my OBS (you can ignore the music sorry lmao)

Display Capture, captures the literal display. It's the exact same as if you had a capture card on the physical cord to the monitor, or a camera lined up perfectly with the screen. What you literally see is what you get, barring any problems with the monitor itself.

Oh, okay thank you! I wonder why before it didn't capture everything then, that's odd lmao

It would be perfect to add filtering for a certain program and then collect data from the monitor

Yes it would, and a lot of other things too. But we have to work with what the operating system gives us. As I understand, the OS can give us the entire screen as sent to the monitor (possibly minus the cursor), or it can give us one specific window. That's it.

It might be possible to capture all of the windows separately, and rebuild the display from that, minus the one you don't want. But that's a separate capture for every window, and manually putting each of them in the right place on the canvas. Possible, yes; but tedious to set up, and not very efficient to run.

Probably better to just not have that window there in the first place. Then you can capture the entire screen. If you have to have it *somewhere*, then put it on a different physical screen.
