1.  Start running Capture One application if not already launched.

For Windows users

To make a screen recording on a Windows computer, please use any third-party application you prefer. One of these applications is ShareX, a free and open-source app based on FFmpeg (a free and open-source multimedia framework).
To proceed, download, install and launch ShareX: https://getsharex.com/

1. In ShareX, go to the Capture menu and select Screen Recording. It may ask you to install FFmpeg, agree, and it will do it automatically.

2. After selecting Screen Recording, ShareX will ask you to select a part of the screen you want to record – select the whole screen.

3. Reproduce the issue and stop the recording by clicking on the ShareX tray icon.

4. Once the screen recording is completed, save the file to the specified location and then attach it to the support request.
