Question / Help OBS black screen when capturing on Lenovo IdeaPad L340 Gaming

[europa]

My computer is a Lenovo IdeaPad L340 gaming

OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
Ver: 10.0.18362 Build 18362
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz, 2400 Mhz, 4 kjerne(r), 8 logiske prosessor(er)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

When I try to record with OBS the screen is black. I've tried:
- Graphics Settings in Windows
- Using Nvidia onboard graphics in Nvidia control panel
- Running as admin
- Running in compability mode Windows 7
- Uncheck hardware acceleration

Still its black. I have used OBS on my HP laptop with an Intel i3 processor and no dedicated graphics card, so its strange that a more powerfull laptop cant handle it...

I have the same problem, Lenovo IdeaPad L340.

Example:
Game is Overcooked in Full Screen

Game Capture:
Selected Capture Specific Window or Full Screen detection
Shows Black Screen only.

Window Capture:
Shows only if Game is in Window Mode, if Full Screen, cannot detect the program and not in specific app list.

Already tried:
- Re-install many times
- Use old versions
- Use Integrated and High-end Graphic Processor
- Run compatibility in Windows 7

Please help.

did you try this solution?

Laptop? Black screen when capturing? Read here first.

Depending on your Windows version and what sources you wish to use, you may need to set OBS to run on a specific GPU. Not sure which Windows version you have? Press Windows+R and run "winver". For Windows 10 1909 or newer: Open Settings and search for "Graphics Settings". Select "Classic App"...
