    Why did my Opera GX start taking screenshots of web pages?

        @leocg just look at the screenshot, these pictures are taken on their own without my participation, every second, without even being saved on my PC. Why is this happening?e14c279f-f6ab-4fbf-9ac0-4e4dda231661-image.png

          @retyung92 When it happens? Unless you are triggering the snapshot tool by chance, it must probably be an extension or a third party app.

            @leocg I can assume that this is due to the built-in spyware from Microsoft (since screenshots began to be taken after the update and the appearance of processes that did not exist before).
            It's not the extensions' fault. Well, either I caught a virus that is not detected by any antivirus even in safe mode.

              @retyung92 I would disable all extensions to check if none are causing the problem.
              I would also check system for malware.

                @retyung92 When the screenshots are taken and where do you see them?

                  @leocg Screenshots are taken every second, what I see is captured.
                  I see them through the built-in opera GX discord.

                    @retyung92 Maybe a mod is doing it? Or even Discord?

                    Opera doesn't have a feature to take pictures automatically..

                      @leocg I turned off all mods and extensions - nothing changed.
                      Maybe, but then the question arises, why does Discor do this?
                      Or a third-party program does them itself through the Opera function

                        @retyung92 You would need to ask Discord.

                        Anyway, what would be the steps to try ti reproduce the issue?

                          @leocg I am waiting for answer from Discord.
                          I don't know really, screenshots just started being taken.

                            Nothing... They told me that it was not because of them.
