Looks like it has been quite a while indeed. Your OBS is trying to use the OpenGL renderer, which shouldn't be used on Windows anymore. The easiest way to fix this is to delete %appdata%/obs-studio/global.ini. Alternatively, you can just delete the whole %appdata%/obs-studio folder for a fresh start.

If you'd prefer to be more surgical, you can edit the global.ini file and remove the whole section under "[Video]", or just change the "Renderer" to "Direct3D 11".
