KAM Capture Tool now checks for a new version once, when it starts, and not again until the next start.

Quieter on the network. 1.2.0 checked a few seconds after starting and then every six hours. A program that sits in the tray all day should not be going back to the network all day, so the timer is gone: it checks once per start. It often starts with Windows, before the network is up, so a check that finds no connection waits for one and asks then, once. The update button still checks whenever you click it.

This is also the first release the updater delivers. A copy running 1.2.0 offers it in the gold update button and the bar, and Update now installs it.

Tested, not assumed: the whole update runs end to end again on this build. Its one start-up check finds the newer version, a download with the wrong checksum is refused with nothing changed, and a good one ends with the new version running where the old one was.

Install: download KamCapture.exe below and run it. It asks where to install — per-user, never as administrator — or runs where it stands. The .NET runtime is inside it, so there is nothing to install first. Recording also needs ffmpeg: winget install Gyan.FFmpeg

Updating: 1.2.0 offers this by itself. From 1.1.x, run the download; it offers to replace the copy that is running.

It is not code signed, so SmartScreen warns the first time: More info, then Run anyway. The SHA-256 is published beside it in SHA256SUMS.txt, and Get-FileHash KamCapture.exe should match it:
