Hi, I've been facing some issues while recording with OBS and I couldn't find any help online.
For many years of my life, I only used one monitor. Just recently, I got another one and started using a dual-monitor setup. What I do is record my first monitor's screen with OBS, while keeping the Task Manager open on the second monitor to check resource usage and running processes.
So far, no problems. However, I recently noticed that simply clicking or dragging the Task Manager window on the second monitor causes the desktop icons to briefly appear on the first monitor, over whatever I’m recording. These flickers/blinks/Idk last less than a second but completely disrupt the recording.
The bug is inconsistent, I’ve tried replicating it multiple times, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. I’m not sure if the Task Manager specifically is causing this or if any open window could trigger it too.
The temporary solution I found was to keep the second monitor empty and hide the desktop icons to prevent the bug from occurring.
The issue itself isn’t critical but is quite inconvenient. I’d like to know if anyone else has experienced this or understands what might be causing it, and if there’s a solution, thank you.
