Windows Apps capturing a black screen

[puddl3jump3r]

Using a test game (Big Farm) installed as windows application from the Microsoft Store, I only capture a black screen. I know in a browser like google it is due to hardware acceleration, but this is a windows application built in a framework. Has anyone figured out how to do this without a fullscreen capture?

I had a similar problem with that and there were two different solutions to it.

The first one was that the cv2.imshow didn't have a cv.waitKey and cv.destroyAllWindows() after it was used.

The second problem was simply that the game was minimized. In order for the wind32 to capture the game, the window can't be minimized.

Same here I'm using the sample code. Getting black screen from the game window

Even capturing the full screen doesn't work for me. Would really appreciate if someone has a solution. This is my 20th resource, I'm starting to lose faith my game can be captured with Python at least
