Hello, I am trying to record from an application. There are course videos that I use in my field in the application. However, the application is very well protected.

When the application is opened, it is run as an administrator. It also closes all applications in the background. Including OBS. If you try to open the application by opening it in window mode after opening, OBS closes again. Chrome and other applications close in the same way.

When OBS closes, it says: The following application will close. Do you confirm? "obs64.exe|obs64|12912"
Only Telegram doesn't close. How can I solve this?

PS: The app also doesn't open in the virtual machine.

What app exactly is it you're trying to record from? What is the name?

This kind of description always rings a bell that says: "is this a legitime attempt to record from that app?" There are illegitime attempts, for example if you try to record an exam app to grab the secret exam questions. Or to grab content secretly that must not be extracted from the app because of company policy or even by law.

So I would rather not try to help you with that, to avoid helping with illegal activities.

If you say you're trying to record for educational purposes, for example to create a course video how to use that app for your users, then ask the app support for means to run it in some kind of demo mode that will allow recording with demo data.
