Question / Help Display Capture of one Display but not other

[SkiSoutheat]

Hi guys - I appreciate your patience on these black screen issues...and I read the posts related to these. However I still am not seeing my issue.

I AM using a laptop, but it is a gaming laptop (MSI WS65) and it has an I9 core and Quatro RTX nvidia graphics. I realize that laptops have two cards...and see how that causes an issue. My issue is not "THE TYPICAL BLACK SCREEN" issue or at least I don't think it is because I am not seeing the issues talked about like I am experiencing.

I don't game...so my issues are related to either display capture or windows capture. Windows capture is always a black screen, whether the window is on my main laptop display or the external monitor. For display capture OBS recognizes my external monitor and displays perfectly. However, it gets a black screen on display 1 which is my main laptop display.

Seems that there should be a way to change the graphics settting in nvidia control panel for the main laptop display to be the same and then the issue would be resolved. Seen tons of YouTube vids about it.

Any help or do I have to go buy a desktop?

With newer Windows 10 versions, you must change the graphics processor from within Windows, not the NVIDIA panel. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/laptop-black-screen-when-capturing-read-here-first.5965/
