Crashing on Startup after installation

[bananedmonkey]

Fresh installation of obs 28.0 on windows 10. Crashes on startup.

I'm not try to do anything fancy. I have installed no plugins.
This is what I have done thus far:
uninstalled and reinstalled obs by deleting "C:\Program Files\obs-studio"
updated my graphics drivers

ran:
first command
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

second command when first finished
sfc /scannow
as mentioned in : https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-crash-unhandled-exception-e06d7363.153921/

also crashes with obs 27.2

Ok so I referenced this post:

Unhandled exception: e06d7363

Hey! I haven't run OBS in a few years and when I launched it today, it prompt me to update it. Once I did, it no longer starts. Updated the graphics driver as well as ran the "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" / "sfc /scannow" combo. Crash report attached. Thank you!

Turns out I have to update my Nivida driver AND my intel integrated graphics driver (even tho I don't use the integrated graphics driver)

Crazy how that works.

Yup, all GPU drivers The integrated GPU has an encoder will get initialized too
