I tried all fixes available to my current problem such as:
Changing the Nvidia Control Panel program to High-Graphics Processor and also the Integrated Graphics
Running the program as administrator and setting the compatibility mode to Windows 7 and 8
Reinstalling both programs (OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS)
Still no fix at all. here is my log file regarding this issue.

* I think it has something to do with the recent update on the GeForce Experience (its just a guess) since back then I can preview my display capture

Hi, I've changed the GPU affinity of the OBS and the Streamlabs OBS, the result is still the same. Display capture still wont show any preview of my screen

OBS is still running on the Nvidia card, so display capture will not work.

If you're on Windows prior to 1909, you set this in Nvidia control panel:

Laptop? Black screen when capturing? Read here first.

If you're on Windows 1909, you set it in Windows:

If neither of these is working then you may need to update your Nvidia driver or seek support from Nvidia; OBS cannot perform a display capture on a laptop with both integrated and discrete GPUs while it is running on the discrete GPU.

That is some great info. Thanks for the tips and explaining why the change. FYI, on the Windows 10, 2004 version, I see the Graphics Performance Preference listing Desktop App instead of Classic App as shown in the GitHub page you linked.
