Question / Help Magic the Gathering Online (MTGO) not showing up on Display Capture (but everything else is)

I'm interested in streaming Magic the Gathering Online, but for whatever reason the program won't show up when I try Desktop Capture. Literally every other program shows up that I have tried so far, but MTGO is just straight up invisible.

See below for my desktop screenshot. I have OBS, MTGO, and Google Chrome open (to the OBS website). OBS is able to capture OBS and Chrome, but on the Display Capture you can see through MTGO to the OBS website in Chrome.

Everything I've found online says that OBS doesn't like something about how MTGO creates multiple windows, so window capture won't work. It also doesn't like how MTGO can't be run in full-screen mode, so game capture won't work. Any ideas why a program simply won't show up on desktop capture? Am I just overlooking something simple?

I'm having this same issue, in Display Capture the window is invisible. Everything else shows ups. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Ok! I figured it out. You have to uncheck the "Disable Aero" button under your video settings. Apparently when it's checked, it changes your color settings to Windows 7 and for some reason OBS doesn't pick up MTGO. I didn't find this anywhere else online, just screwed around until I fixed it.
