Although i think this is solved by using a dual monitor setup, keep your notes on the secondary monitor and just capture the first monitor. That way you get all the windows helpers.
With the way I have everything set up, it would be very uncomfortable to record my second monitor's screen (it's positioned in a bad spot relative to my mic), but it would also be really bad for reading notes off of since it's so far off to the side of where I am looking.
I could always drop my native res from 2560x1440 down to 1920x1080 on the main recording monitor and that would 100% work, but I really like having my notes 3 inches away from where my eyes are facing when I do live coding or am explaining something. It really makes a difference when you're recording for ~100 hours (less neck strain, less eye strain, easier to ensure good mouth to mic positioning, etc.).
having to get a second monitor just to record a video easier... is a problem in and of itself.
