Question / Help Display capture works on 1/2 monitors, desktop

I've got a problem I think is similar to the laptop display capture issue, but the suggestions for that don't seem to help!

Display capture sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Right now, if I look through the sources for display cap, my 2nd monitor previews fine but my 1st, the one I'm trying to use, shows nothing. There's not even a black rectangle, just the gray background of the settings window. I tried running as administrator but haven't tried compatibility mode because I can't find the setting.

I have a 2-PC setup. I do everything on monitor 1 and project my scene to monitor 2 with OBS. Monitor 1 is connected by DVI to my nVidia card and 2 is connected by HDMI to the same card. 2 goes through an elgato capture card along the way.

I just checked again and it's come back!

It previews correctly in the source selection and works fine. But I can't figure out the reason it changed. I don't think I opened or closed any other programs while writing this post and I didn't even restart OBS.

I'd still like to figure out the reason so I can prevent it!
