Hi all, im new to screen recording and trying to show videos with me installing software but obs isn't showing the uac dialogue prompts for some reason? I am recording the full screen at 1920 x 1080 including taskbar.

please help me!
 
The Windows UAC Prompt is a feature that is added since Windows Vista to protect Windows from virusses that easily infect computers if they can run with high privileges without the user knowing it. The UAC Prompt pops up on a Secure Deskop (otherwise known as the Winlogon desktop) so that applications can't manipulate the mouse to press Yes and that keyloggers can't see what you are typing. This goes the same for capturing the Secure Desktop. OBS is not allowed to record video on the Secure Desktop. The only way to achieve this is by running OBS as Administrator and OBS having the function to record the Secure Desktop, which does not exist, so you're unable to capture the UAC Prompts.
