About this tag
Windowed mode in Windows 11 refers to a new screen recording feature in the Snipping Tool that lets you capture a single application window instead of a freeform area. This window-mode recording is rolling out to Windows Insiders in Canary, Dev, and Beta channels via Snipping Tool version 11.2507.14.0 and builds like 26200.5761 and 26120.5761. It simplifies creating tutorials, demos, and bug reports by automatically locking the recording region to the chosen window, reducing post-capture cropping and accidental desktop exposure. The feature is part of Microsoft's ongoing effort to evolve the Snipping Tool into a one-stop capture, annotate, and record utility.

    Remove one side of a game window without affecting the game

    Hi, I play World of Warcraft and I like the character to be close to the left side of the screen. If I put it in windowed mode and slide it off to where I want to have it, it affects the game's camera. Is there a way to remove one side of the displayed portion of a window? I use Windows 7.
