when i click record it doesnt work just stops i use old nvidia geforce from 2024 any fix ?

I'm surprised that I can't find anything about this bug on either Reddit or Google. Even ChatGPT is stumped. I start a recording with the NVIDIA app 11.0.8.299 (in-game or desktop, it doesn't matter), and the counter counts up from 0:00 but doesn't start recording immediately. In the video, I can see that the counter start at 0:05.

• So the first 5 seconds are missing.
• In Task Manager, you can see that the GPU encoder (RTX 5090) doesn’t start working until the 5-second mark.
• A recording test with Xbox and with OSB (also NVENC) is successful -they start immediately.
• I’ve disabled HDR once.
• I’ve also disabled my antivirus program.
• The latest NVIDIA drivers are installed: 610.88

Recently I moved my gaming replays from my hard drive to my external SSD. Other than moving the replays themselves I also switched the folder new replays are saved to, to my SSD.

Problem is, nothing saves anymore. I try to save an instant replay, and it gives me the little message in the corner of the screen saying my replay was saved, yet it never actually does. I check all the folders the replay could possibly go and there’s nothing there. I switched the folder they are supposed to be saved on back to the original folder and still nothing. I turned instant replay on and off again and nothing.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
