Ok, HUGE BUG here... If someone can explain how to fix, that would be great.

Connected from a machine A (W-10) to machine B (W-10)
Machine B told to capture screen with Camtasia Recorder. Works great 100% of the time HOWEVER..
Machine A's screen lock comes up even though I've told it to NOT do that (it's a corporate machine go figure)

The issue is that WHILE MACHINE A is sitting there at the lock screen waiting for you to log in, MACHINE B which is still recording video from where-ever, not important, is STILL RECORDING AUDIO but the VIDEO FREEZES on the last frame since MACHINE A went into lock-screen. Once you log back into MACHINE A, MACHINE B continues to capture live video again....

Sooooo... how is this even a thing if the remote machine is truly remote? Is RDC when connected killing local video rendering if it receives a lock-screen indicator (again, why the hell would MACHINE A send such a thing in the first place and why would MACHINE B even care?)

There's obvious an improper connection with cause and effect happening here - would love to know maybe how to cut that feature altogether as it's 100% wrong.
