What about Window's built in "Capture last 5 minutes" screen recording, as a part of their gaming features? Or the same feature that's just enabled from the nvidia drivers?

Also an explicit action. Look, most people don’t know anything about computers. If it says use recommended settings, they will go for it. Even an explanatory first-install screen with “consent” is just jumbo jumbo to regular folks. It’s not comparable to installing custom software or enabling a feature from the settings. It’s incredibly irresponsible.

Even so, such invasive features need to renew consent and/or periodically alert users. The risks with someone else enabling them to spy are too high.
