Sharpcap always on top

not sure if this is a bug, or meant to work this way.
When I'm using a two monitor setup and livestacking (monitor 1 running SC control panels and monitor 2 showing livestack image), The Sharpcap on Mon 1 seems to be in 'always on top' mode such that I can't access other apps (browser or Cart du Ciel etc), unless I minimise SC first - which also minimises the livestack image. I'd like to set livedstack running and see the image on the 2nd screen but use the first screen for other functions.

SC v6269 64 bit, Windows 10, ASI 533 MC Pro camera.
Thanks in advance
Neil

Hi,

That's odd, I can put other applications in front of both parts of SharpCap when in two monitor view – this is on Windows 10. What version of Windows you running?

Cheers, Robin

Robin,
Looks like an intermittent thing - has happened a couple of times now, but was back to normal again last night - I'm putting it down to my PC rather than SC.

Ok, no worries. Do let me know if you work out a way to make it happen every time in which case I can investigate properly.

Cheers, Robin

I have also had this happen intermittently on my dual screen setup. I do know know yet what sequence causes it. The only solution has been to close Sharpcap and reopen.

Weirdly, I have also had problems with a different application that has recently decided to be always on top about half of the time and the only cure seems to be closing and reopening. This is also an application that works across two monitors. I still never seen this problem was SharpCap though.
