Hi! I'm using window capture for games I can't capture any other way. Thing is I after last update OBS won't let me capture other than through Windows 10 capture mode (with the awful yellow frame) and DXGI mode returns only a black screen. It worked in the last version and I've already tried all "black screen fixes" with no luck. Thanks.

Log file please. Look in Help menu. After upload, and follow directions on the Analize, post the link to the log here. The same feature lets you copy de link and bo to the analyzer.

You probably want to check again your Windows version.
And there's something really interesting in the log, a lot of plugins you should check for updates and i fthey are compatible with latest versions of OBS.

Thank you. Checking Windows Update again, it seems Windows says it is already updated but it's not really. I installed most of those plugins after 27.0 so I'll go check them one by one I guess.

I already updated and no fix. But I found out that I have an OBS 32-bit version (27.1.3) in which DXGI works perfectly. I can't use that one because I need to update to log into twitch and also it was this update which made my 64-bit OBS stop capturing. I think they use the same plugin folder so I would discard those as sources of the problem.

Again, Windows says it's updated but OBS log keeps saying it's not. I can't find a way to have it updated for real.

You need to look which update version of Windows you have installed and compare it to whats the latest in microsoft site.
Something like this;
Edición Windows 10 Pro
Versión 21H2

Go to Windows settings, system, about (or whatever is called in your language, main is in spanish)

Mine is in Spanish too and it says 21H2. Funny thing, remember I said the 32-bit version worked? I've updated it. Still works. So now I have a 32-bit OBS with DXGI working a 64-bit (which is the one I'm supposed to use) with DXGI broken. Same plugins. I'll leave the log. Trying to reinstall 64-bit version, it may be corrupted or something.

DAMN! Thank you. I had some trouble with RTSS and during the process I had tried compatibility mode. For some reason it was still activated. I unchecked that and now works. Thank you both for your help.

And LukeDaDuke, I would check compatibility mode.
