"Game Recording" mode requires administrator privileges to hook recording target processes without any issues.
If you select "Game Recording Mode" and click "Yes" in the "User Account Control" window, Bandicam will be restarted, with you as an administrator.
If you run Bandicam as an administrator, the "ADMIN" logo will be shown like below.
If you click "No" in the "User Account Control" window, Bandicam will be run as a standard user, and some recording targets, such as "games that require administrator privileges" or "UWP Games from the Microsoft Store," may not be detected properly.
