How To Fix Lethal Company Can’t Record Using Nvidia Software

So, I have a laptop and a PC. I have 3060 installed on my PC and 3050 on my laptop. 3050 is a laptop GPU so you can’t record a desktop using that as there is no privacy option. I never faced this issue on my laptop since the desktop is not recordable. But whenever I tried to record on PC by pressing alt z, the desktop showed up.

I then realized the desktop recording is triggering this issue. Also, Lethal Company is not recognized as a game in the Nvidia Shadowplay/Software.

To fix this issue, you need to disable desktop recording and your issue will be resolved.

That’s all there is to fix this issue. Hope now you can record and create cool content for your YouTube channel or Twitch.
