Question / Help Black Screen

[What the fuck]

My problem is that the program itself is a bug. All I get is a black screen. Yes, I realize that millions of others have had this same issue, but for me it cannot be fixed.
I saw one drone recommend a user to turn off "Aero" to fix this. Unfortunately for me, that doesn't even show up as an option in the video tab.

I think that the program should show video. It was a bad idea making it just show a solid black screen. I don't see the point of that.

Here is the log. https://gist.github.com/57d125363d6e7dbe301a6cbe3b439282

Also I'm using Windows 8.

Not bad but it's entirely useless. How do I access "compatibility mode"?

 

[xxAssassin349]

Add a Window Capture scene, right click the scene, go to Properties, and check Multi-adapter Compatibility.

I clicked on the multi-adapter compatibility the screen is still black. Any other suggestions? I'm running OBS studios on windows 10

Your log contains no Sources. What should OBS display if u didn add a Source? Yes, a black Screen.

Add a Displaycapture, or what ever u want to capture, hit record for few Minutes and post THIS log again.

Sounds like you're just confused on how the program works.
