Hey all. been a long time user of OBS now.

Recently upgraded to Windows 10, along with new hardware (AMD Ryzen 1800x, Asus MOBO B450-F Gaming ROG Strix). I still have my old GPU Though, its an AMD 290x.

When i try to go in to add in a new source for capture, i can have display capture, capture one of my monitors, but when i try to capture a window on that specific monitor (or any and all the monitors for that matter) it just displays as black. Not sure what all else i can provide, as i have never streamed with the new OBS and hardware setup just yet.
I am also trying to capture many different aspects (8 Webcams) on a single monitor or window, and i think (if memory recalls) display capture really runs down your CPU?

EDIT: This is only happening on Chrome. Firefox it DOES work on

any help is appreciated.

Chrome can be captured, if you deactivate hardware acceleration within the Chrome settings.
THAAAANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!
I've been scrying the forums for answers to the window capture black screen on Chrome, and apparently this works like a charm, didn't even have to run OBS on Integrated Graphics like some threads says.
Thank you, kind sir.
