Good morning,
I have been using OBS for quite sometime however all of a sudden, with no changes to my knowledge, I am receiving black screens when recording. I uninstalled and reinstalled OBS. Restarted multiple times but no luck. Below is my log from a quick recording session to just capture what was going on. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have it set to capture specific window and match title. This is what it has always been set to and I didn't use to have this issue.

So any ideas as to what would cause the videos to show a black screen abruptly? Prior to this issue I had been recording fine for the past 12 months.

Make sure the windows game bar is turned off as is all other software that does overlays and other such hooking.

The only programs open are discord, obs and pubg :/

I can see the video fine in the previous window of obs, just the recordings are all black.

Turned it off and still have black screen in the recording. Log Below.

I am just using the Movies and TV app to view them before my edits. I've tried Windows Media as well. Same results.
