Apps from the Microsoft Store cannot be captured. Is this version of Office from the MS store?

1) I have 2 monitors. When I use monitor 2; YES I CAN capture Desktop area and Power Point 2019. :D
2) BUT when I use monitor 1 (notebook); NO NO NO... is not possible to capture neither Desktop area and Power Point 2019. :(

I´ve been tried several tips and tricks but... unsucessfully...

I am still looking for a solution, tips, trick etc...

*) This Office was previosly installed in notebook when I purchased it.

I'm referring to game capture, not display capture. Game capture can't be used on games or other applications from the Microsoft store. Try that method, if it fails, then those programs likely came from the store. I suspect the newest Office installs do.

If your two displays are driven by different GPUs, then OBS will only be able to display capture apps running on the same GPU it is.

Laptop? Black screen when capturing? Read here first.

Monitor/Display 1:
Adapter 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Adapter 2: Intel(R) HD Graphics 630

Before:
OBS Studio 23.1 = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 -> Fails to capture screen and Powerpoint.

After:
OBS Studio 23.1 = Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 -> YES now I capture screen and Powerpoint, but I cannot capture Power Point Window, so I maximize Power Point and it is all OK. I think this office = Windows Store.

Now I will try to capture some games that show a black screen when I try to capture its window.
...
I will be back :D

I wonder if this could be worked around by using the NewTek NDI tools to capture an app and create an NDI feed to import into OBS with the NDI plugin?

Dealing with powerpoint on a laptop is a lesson in pain.
BOTH displays would need to be running on the intel gpu.

-> BEFORE: Adapter 1 and Adapter 2 = NVidia GTX 1050 -> It do not worked properly. I cannot capture screen and power point (maximized window)
-> AFTER: Adapter 1 = Iintel 630 and Adapter 2 = NVidia GTX 1050 -> YES I can capture screen and power point (maximized window)
