      The only thing this is really good for in business is to make training videos. That's about it. Or to pirate Netflix movies. Hmmm...

      I bet it uses some useful format so that it isn't any good for that, either.

      Comes out as an mp4 format.

      Not so bad.

        e the other day asking what this green box was - something about recording a game? At first I thought she has picked up some type of malware, etc, nope.
        I did a screen share and she showed me the prompt.

        This happens all the time on using Citrix Receiver on any Windows 10 computer 🙂 Although it will not record anything anyway.

        I haven't tried recording in a Citrix connected session - though for training videos, I suppose that could be helpful.

          My Windows 10 1703 installs do not have this active.

          Also, if tt is active, you can disable it from the settings panel like any other setting.

          Going into the registry is just wrong.

          I have not looked for a GPO setting as this has never affected any of my clients.

          Did you bother to look for a GPO setting? Or did you just jump straight to the OMFG kill it with fire in the registry?

          A google search did not turn up a specific GPO setting - and no I didn't dig into the thousands of GPO settings looking for it.

          But I can very EASILY put a registry change into a GPO and solve this problem - and since the registry is what I found first when googling for a GPO solution to this, that is what I posted here in this thread.

          The registry post was also for Admins, not normal home users who just want to turn it off for themselves. We are a SMB support site, are we not?

            That's a bit harsh, I think @JaredBusch was trying to resolve the issue for that user specifically. The Registry can be used over GPO as the AMDX Templates do not include that setting as far as I have seen.

              General IT, not SMB specifically.

                Seriously? have you seen JB's posts around here? LOL

                As for JB helping my one user - I already solved the issue for my user with the registry solution. 🙂

                  @Dashrender Lol, I am not one to know here as I am pretty new to this but I would think it will be okay if you say so.

                    Yeah, @Dashrender is not the harsh one.

                    And no, I was not trying to help the one user.

                    I was

                    1. pointing out that there are settings for it.
                    2. pointing out that you should properly look for the way to administratively shut this off
                      1. Because Registry keys are a legacy hack.

                        I did search for non registry options before posting, just didn't find any in the 5 mins of looking.
