I've been using OBS for a long time without a problem. When I try to start it today, I get an instant crash (log attached).

Things that have changed since I last streamed:
- Updated to latest nvidia driver.
- Windows updated something.
- Installed a new USB hub.

No other program seems to have any similar effects, including other screen recording programs that use the same hardware devices. Not sure where to start looking.

Is there an error window that appears? If not, is there a normal logs folder/file that you could send? I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what that crash log means.
Also: have you tried backing up your settings and profiles/uninstalling/reinstalling?
 
If I recall correctly, it was NVIDIA for me, too. Don't remember how I fixed it, which probably means I just uninstalled and reinstalled. Have you tried running it as an administrator?
 
I tried reinstalling obs, no difference. Also tried rebooting, and shutting off everything non-essential, as well as plugging all my recording devices out of the new USB hub.

The window that pops up simply refers to the error log.
 
Try to move win-mf.dll file from the "obs-plugins\64bit" (or "obs-plugins\32bit") to any other new folder. This prevents Media Foundation plugin from load into OBS Studio.

Any changes?
