    In C#/WinUI, it works with IDXGIOutputDuplication::AcquireNextFrame then by converting the texture bits into WriteableBitmap
    then BitmapEncoder to save as GIF or any other supported format
    (tested on Windows 10 21H1)

    There are many screen capture examples, Capturing an Image(GDI), Screen capture for HWND(Windows.Graphics.Capture API), DXGI desktop duplication sample(IDXGIOutputDuplication).
    Then you encode the frame data to gif using Windows Imaging Component .
