Always asks to boot normally or safemode

[ToejaM]

The issue I have is that everytime OBS loads, it always asks me if I want to run it normally or in safemode, this is great but is there anyway to skip this with perhaps a command prompt or something?

The reason it happens is because the machines that shut down, never close OBS first so it always thinks the program has crashed and this is preventing some simple automation that I'd been enjoying.

Just for anyone who has this issue and wants to resolve it, I found the solution in another thread I forget where but goto your shortcut and put this on the end: --disable-shutdown-check

Example because sometimes it's confusing where exactly it goes but it goes right on the end after the closed quotation marks

"C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --disable-shutdown-check

Love your work. Thanks!

Does this work when OBS is launched automatically at system startup? Can that option be made to enable this script?

Hi,
I have finally found a solution for OBS launched at startup:

1. Press Windows Key + R (Run)
2. Enter "shell:startup" (without quotes) and then OK
3. Right click on "OBS Studio" and click Properties
4. Then finally you can add the "--disable-shutdown-check" postfix to the Target:
"C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --disable-shutdown-check
5. Click Apply and then OK

It should be solved now! :)

I tried that, but it didn't work. The Safe Mode window no longer appears, but when I double-click the OBS icon, nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas?

Not working for me too.

OBS sucks so badly but there're no real alternative...

Since an update to 32.0.0 today (24th Sept 2025) the lovense obs toolset plugins no longer work anyone found a solution as all files are the latest available?

You need to contact the devs of this plugins in order to see when an update will be available. Reinstall the previous OBS version you where using to get them working again.

As a person who has encountered a certain problem and figured it out, I want to warn those who want to do this. The OBS Studio 32.0 update was recently released, which removed this flag (--disable-shutdown-check), but did not come up with an alternative. If you want the guide to work for you, do not upgrade to version 32.0.
