Question / Help Black screen on display .

[Sebbywebbydooda]

So I am aware this is a common issue with Nvidia Laptops, And I have searched tutorial videos and these are the things I have tried so far:

• Restarting the computer
• updating my graphics card
• check for OBS updates
• tried running in compatibility mode (win7 and win8)
• changed OBS 3D settings on Nvidia Control Panel to intergrated graphics

I am going to try to simply uninstall the reinstall OBS studio again, can anyone give me any more tricks that might help?

Reinstalling likely won't change anything.

If you've changed OBS to run on the integrated GPU and still can't perform a display capture, post a logfile:

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS is running on your Nvidia card. It needs to run on the Intel GPU to perform display capture.

Laptop? Black screen when capturing? Read here first.

So this is where i would go to 3D settings on the nvidia control panel right? i did that all ready :( is there another way to do this?

 

[Narcogen]

No, in the nvidia control panel is where you do it. If you set it there and it doesn't work, check that your nvidia drivers are up to date and inquire with their support if the panel isn't working.

 

[Sebbywebbydooda]

They are all up to date :/

Hello, I have the same display capture problem, but it occurred after the last update of windows 10 (1909). Already using the capture and working correctly, could it be some OBS incompatibility with the update or some side effect of the update?

Edit 1:
I uninstalled update 1909 and display capture went back to work

I can confirm that the 1909 update broke my ability to use the nvida control panel to force obs to use my ingratiated graphics card. i was able to uninstall the update and my obs worked fine. i dont know if this helps.

To all of you who make obs what it is: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

How did you manage to get a previous version?

I forget where i found it but check in the win updates and look for recovery or rollback or something and I was allowed to uninstall the update
