Snipping tool Screen recording automatically stops

Windows 11

I’ve been having this issue since I updated my HP laptop at the start of February.

I usually record my screen during an MS Teams meeting so I have something to review afterward. I don’t use the built-in recording feature in MS Teams because my boss often calls me for quick discussions that last 15–20 minutes. Our calls are frequent, and I’m a slow typer, so I prefer recording them so I can take notes later. I also don’t want him to feel bothered by the fact that I often record our conversations.

Before, I could record a meeting for 20 minutes up to an hour with no issues. Now, when I record my screen, it only lasts a few minutes before it suddenly ends without notice. It’s like the app just closes without any notification that it crashed or anything. I tried testing it by opening Task Manager while recording, but every time, it still suddenly ends without me clicking anything. The rectangular recording box just disappears from the screen, and the recording isn’t saved.

Is anybody else having the same issue?
