How to Set Value to Record ‘User Account Control’ Dialog with Screen Recording Apps Free on Windows

Normally ‘User Account Control’ is set to default.

You can view this setting by opening ‘Settings’.

Then search ‘Change User Account Control settings’

When I open a file that is downloaded from the Internet, ‘User Account Control’ dialog will show and 3 screen recording apps I’ve tested responds in the same way which is they can not record that dialog.

 

Bandicam 27.0.6.2686 and Camtasia 26.2.2.19936 (trial version), when that dialog shows, they just pause recording, when that dialog disappears, they start recoding again.
OBS Studio 32.1.2 records a black screen in the output file when that dialog shows.

 

If you want to record that dialog, set ‘User Account Control’ just like in the picture above. You can see the message ‘do not dim my desktop’.

After Updating to 25H2, Low Input Sound on Windows 11 is Fixed

I posted in the past that my low-cost laptop had an issue with input sound comparing to another one that is more expensive. My microphone is a USB mic.`

 

After updating to 25H2, that problem is gone.

Steps:

1. Connect a USB mic to a laptop, then Open ‘Settings’.

 

2. At the left pane, click ‘System’.

 

At the right pane, click ‘Sound’.

 

At ‘Input’, check your microphone.

 

And click the arrow.

 

The ‘Properties’ of your microphone will show.

 

I set ‘Input Volume’ to 99. If it’s too loud, you can change it.

Set ‘Audio enhancements’ to ‘Voice Clarity’.

Set ‘Voice Focus’ to ‘On’.

 

3. I record sound with ‘Sound Recorder’ app (it comes with Windows 11).

Quality is great. It won’t record noise -- fan, car engine, sound of mouse clicking.

 

 

Audio Enhancement Built-In Feature for Eliminating Background Noise on Windows 11

I have to say that I’ve been waiting this kind of feature for quite some time. No matter it is built in on macOS, Windows or any free sound recorder app I’ve been testing. None was available at that time until I’ve found on Windows 11.

1. I use USB mic to record my voice with Microsoft app ‘Sound Recorder’. 'Sound Recorder' comes with Windows 11.

This feature makes ‘Sound Recorder’ not to record sound of fan, engine, finger snap, cough and I think it should be more than this that I haven’t found out.

Sometimes it records noise and then stop recording it (I can tell by looking at the wave shape in ‘Sound Recorder’) while that noise continues. I think it learn that that sound is unwanted sound so it decides not to record it.

What it records (based on my usage): human voice and bird sounds.

This feature can be turned on/off. If you want that noise you can turn it off in ‘Settings’.

To access this feature, connect USB mic then open ‘Settings’.

Search ‘sound settings’

 

Set output if you want.

 

At input, click your USB mic.

Allow apps and Windows to use this device for audio.

At ‘Audio enhancement’, if you want to turn it off, select ‘Off’.

If you want to turn it on, select ‘Device Default Effects’.

2. Open ‘Sound Recorder’ and start recording.

I have 2 laptops, audio wave shape in ‘Sound Recorder’ of the one that is cheaper is shorter than another laptop. When I playback that audio, sound level is lower. Other factors are the same – USB Mic, volume setting, gain setting of USB mic …

The noise I mentioned is not recorded but the cheaper laptop of mine gives me lower level of loudness.
