I'm using zoomit from sysinternals, and one of the most used features I used was the screen recording.
I don't know what happened, but it suddently stopped working giving the following error:
ZoomIt
Error starting recording: Invalid pointer
OK
Not sure if this was after a windows update or any other system change. but everything was fine and then it wasn't.

stream or a stream that it depends on.
Funny thing is Windows Clipping Tool (Win + Shift + S) also is no longer screen recording, this is with the latest Nvidia Drivers on 4080 Super.
