# DesktopBeast™ EA Beta Support FAQ

## What is DesktopBeast™?

DesktopBeast™ is a Windows desktop capture, OCR, and local review tool for the AI Underground TechBeast™ Data Capture Suite.

## What does it create?

DesktopBeast™ creates a PNG capture and a structured Markdown artifact with metadata, OCR text, privacy advisory signals, and Evidence Envelope-style context.

## Where are captures stored?

By default, captures are stored under the user's Documents area in a DesktopBeast™ EA Beta captures folder. The output location can be changed in Settings.

## Why did Windows SmartScreen warn me?

The EA package may be unsigned. SmartScreen warnings can appear for unsigned or newly distributed Windows apps. Only run packages received through a trusted Stormcrow / AI Underground release path.

## Why does the old icon still appear?

Windows may cache old taskbar, Alt+Tab, executable, or pinned shortcut icons. Exit DesktopBeast™, unpin old shortcuts, recreate shortcuts from the current package, and restart Explorer or sign out/in if needed.

## Why is OCR imperfect?

OCR depends on resolution, contrast, text size, scaling, and visual clutter. Review OCR before relying on it.

## Does DesktopBeast™ capture everything?

No. It is designed for normal active-window desktop capture. Some protected, hidden, minimized, off-screen, elevated, or unusual rendering surfaces may not capture as expected.

## Are privacy warnings blocking?

No. Privacy signals are advisory. Always review captures before sharing.

## How do I exit completely?

Use the DesktopBeast™ Exit button or the tray menu `Exit DesktopBeast™`. Closing the main window may keep the hotkey listener running in the tray.
