Bug Report Not being able to hide "OBS window"

Hi everyone,
I'm encountering a problem with OBS: I set up my scenes and stuff, everything's ok but.. OBS screen shows up when I have all my windows open (so, not in tray) and shows everything I don't want to.
Example: I would like to show only my League of Legends client window.
But, if I navigate in Chrome or reply to someone in Discord/Teamspeak (so, I have to open these windows), OBS shows those one even if I don't have them enabled on my scene.
What should be the problem?
I have Windows 7, no Aero enabled from Windows settings (using it with "performances settings").
I downloaded and installed OBS yesterday, so it's the last version.

If you need others specs I can write em down.
I think there's a conflict or it's simply a bug... But it's annoying since I don't want to show up Chrome tabs or Teamspeak/Discord on stream.

Edit: here is the log:

Disabling aero is the cause of your issue.

But I have to disable it to improve performances on my notebook.

I will try enabling it anyways! Will update

EDIT:
Okay, there is no difference.
Still seeing Chrome or OBS window in stream when popped up, even though there is only League of Legends client in my scene.

Okay I resolved it! With OBS studio everything's fine, but with OBS Classic the problem persist, altough we can say it's resolved, since OBS Classic is no more supported.

Thanks for the help, I saw others with the same problem and was Aero.. But now my notebook is slower then ever, streaming is laggy.

Thanks anyways!!
