Snap to Window Not Working in Captivate 9 on Windows 10

Question

I'm trying to record a software simulation using Captivate 9 and the Snap to Window checkbox is not working. It won't let me check it if I have the window maximized, but when I minimize the window and try to adjust it to fit the red frame, once I check the Snap to Window checkbox it resizes my window and doesn't allow me to resize it. I am using Google Chrome and I'm on Windows 10. It used to work on my laptop when I was on a previous version of Windows. I've seen a few other posts about this and already tried messing with the screen resolution and nothing has worked.

Any help is appreciated!

It is not the screen resolution but the Display Percentage. Depending on the ppi of your screen, Win10 tends to increase that percentage above 100% for readability reasons. Example: I'm typing on a Surface Pro which has a small retina screen, its display percentage is set by Win to 200%. It is necessary to put that back to 100% for recording, whether Video Demo or Software simulation. That makes recording almost impossible on this screen, reason I switch to a normal HD screen (desktop) for any recording.
