Question / Help Windows 10, OBS, and Monitor Capture

[Chesshire]

I can do window capture and it works just fine, but when I try to do just a general monitor capture the screen is black. The option for "Compatibility Mode" is grayed out so I can't change it, and there isn't a way to disable aero (That I'm aware of) as that option is disabled too. Any ideas on how to go about getting it to work would be appreciated.

Windows 10 has no official support yet, so you're on your own here to figure stuff out.
And Aero cannot be disabled anymore since Windows 8.

Hmm ok then. I've tried running admin, Windows 8 mode, and removing my second monitor. No dice just yet. I'll see what else I can try.

I am having the exact same issue.... please let me know if you figure anything out.

Hmm, weird, I have windows 10 technical preview too and everything seems to be working fine, counts the same for monitor capture.

How do you get the monitor capture to work?

I simply add Monitor Capture to scene and select my right monitor, that';s all.

Are you on build 9879? With all windows updates installed?

Actually no, I have build 9841 because build 9879 gave me a lot of bugs and blue screens. I do have it fully updated. See if downgrading to build 9841 could solve the issue.
