Question / Help Game Capture results in a black screen

Game capture used to work just fine until today. For some reason, it wouldn't capture any of the games that I tried. The monitor capture still works fine, but the game capture just results in a black screen.

The games I tried were CS:GO (1920x1080 Fullscreen), osu! (1920x1080 Borderless)

I'm not sure if this information is useful, but I am running a desktop with a single GPU (GTX 770) and I am using two monitors. One monitor is running at 144 Hz and the other at 60 Hz. Also, I noticed that game capture only worked when I set osu! to run with OpenGL and my frame rate in-game was limited to 60fps.

Well, I used to have this problem myself and somehow fixed it, although with my limited knowledge of OBS the only thing I noticed that helped me was always running it as administrator and adding a global source and setting that up the exactly same as your game capture source. I'm not sure what what adding a global source does to help but I still feel like it did. Try both of these together and maybe it will help. :)
