Debut window minimizes on its own when not recording

[MPei]

I had an older version of Debut for the past 3 years, never had a problem. Today, upgraded to version 9.19 and have spent the past hour struggling with it: Debut window keeps minimizing on its own, when not recording. I can't manage to have it open/accessible for more than 2 seconds. I did all the Options configurations just as last previously done. I understand there's the option: "Minimize Debut window when recording if it is covering the recording selection", and I did check this option as I want the window to minimize when recording, but the issue is that it also minimizes when NOT RECORDING. My selection area is set to full screen, so as soon as I try to open the Debut window (not recording anything yet), window minimizes on its own automatically because it is covering part of the recording area (full screen...). How can I get this fixed? Debut shouldn't minimize the window automatically unless it is recording. I'm simply not able to work with it. I have Windows 11.

Thanks

Hi,

You can try the following:

1.  Right-click on the Debut icon.
2.  Click Properties.
3. Under the Compatibility tab uncheck the option " Run this program in compatibility mode"

Hi,

I just did it. Rebooted the computer and the problem is still not fixed. Debut window is constantly minimizing to task bar, when not recording anything

Any other suggestions? Thank you.

Can you make sure that Debut isn't set to 'Record automatically' under Options>Other?

If the issue remains, try reinstalling the program. You may want to contact support for licensing assistance https://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html

Hi, it was not set to Record automatically. But... I think I found the solution, you made me revisit the Options > Other and Advanced, and in the Advanced tab I unchecked "Do not show Debut window in recording frame when maximized" and it seems to have resolved the issue, now I'm able to have the Debut window open/maximized when not recording!

Thanks!

I have the same issue after checking the box "Do not show Debut window in recording frame when maximized", but I am not able to uncheck this box because as soon as I launch the app or restore it, it minimizes again.  How can I reset that setting?
