First, Windows recording stopped losing takes. A stuck NVIDIA encoder no longer hangs stop or drops takes to recovery media, with stop-time drains now bounded and short stalls absorbed instead of skipping frames, in PR 1184. A dead shared encoder now ends the take cleanly and reports that the stream stopped, in PR…

Second, Windows start time was cut piece by piece. Record now reuses the Clips session microphone instead of reopening it, in PR 1228. Camera start no longer blocks later commands while the device opens, in PR 1241. Devices open by hardware identifier rather than list order, fixing a Logitech C920 that failed to…
