Re: How Does Windows 10 Know I'm Playing A MAME Game?

It has an in-built list of things it knows are games, and also uses some heuristics to identify game-like things. Full-screen exclusive mode, enumerating controllers with RawInput API, etc. can make it think something is a game. It isn't always correct, and you can override the automatic decision. One common use for this is to tell it something is a game when it isn't so you can use the screen recording feature.
