,→Windows: Add toccolours class to mw-collapsibles, matching Installation
=== The Windows Logon Screen, Shutdown, UAC Dialogs, Ctrl+Alt+Del, LockScreen do not work. ===
<div class='toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed'>'''Note:''' This information is deprecated as of 2020-08-12, the host now has a helper service to launch it at login with elevated privileges. Only As of 2021-01-16, even the Login Screen login screen can not be captured.
<div class='mw-collapsible-content'>
These screens are on the "Secure Desktop", Microsoft has intentionally limited access to capture this screen to prevent malware attempting to capture information from these screens that might be sensitive. There is little we can do here unless Microsoft is willing to let us sign the host application as an 'Accessibility' program.`
Users of NVIDIA cards that support the NVidia Capture API (Quadro, Tesla, etc) will find this limitation only applies to the Windows Logon Screen and Shutdown Screens, the NvFBC capture API is able to capture the "Secure Desktop" outside of Microsoft's control.

=== The Windows host program doesn't work as a service ===

As of Windows Vista, Microsoft deprecated the ability for services to interact with the user's desktop, and as of Windows 10 this is enforced. There is nothing we can do about this.
Please see [[Installation#Using_the_Windows_Host_Application|Using the Windows Host Application]] for how to setup a scheduled task to launch the application at login.
