OBS 24.0.3 Update Solutions that worked for me
Desktop Users:
This new update has come with some issues for both my laptop and desktop. Here are my laptop and desktop in case you may have the same specs.
Desktop:
i7 4790k
16GB Ram
GTX 970SC
Windows Update 1903
If you update say from OBS 21.0.1 like I did directly from the “Check Update” you will get the following error when you open OBS 64bit but not 32bit.
THE FIX:
Simply uninstall OBS completely and re-install via the OBS official page. Not sure why it does this but after you install it, it fixes the issue. I have not updated to Windows 1909 Fall Update on my desktop because of what has been occurring to others and what happened with my laptop.
Laptop:
DELL XPS 15 9570
i7 8750H
16GB
GTX 1050 Ti
Windows Update 1909 and went back to 1903
I was getting the laptop black screen issue that should have been fixed using the guide found
here, but for me it was not working at all. After much fiddling and uninstalling, re-installing and even installing older versions of OBS I finally found that someone else was having the same issue and was able to uninstall the Windows 1909 update by doing the following.
Windows Settings > Update & Security > View Update History > Uninstall Updates > Windows 1909 Update. It will restart your computer a few times and then you should be good to go. You can then use the laptop black screen guide to fix the issue.
Hope this helps and if you have any questions let me know and I’ll be able to see if I can help you out. My work desktop has an AMD graphics card and it’s also getting the same issue as my home desktop so I will update on Monday when I re-install OBS and see if that fixes the problem on AMD cards.
**Update**
This worked on my workstation computer at work. I just uninstalled OBS and re-installed it and the Error disappeared, I am also not running the windows 1909 update but 1803 at work.
