High CPU usage in windows 11 24h2

May have found a fix.

So I went to Settings - Output - Recording and changed my video encoder from x264 to NVIDIA NVENC H.264. It seems to have solved the issue. Now at 2% CPU rather than 12% CPU (even when I had the same bitrate on both)

Could this cause any problems I've not thought of?

Since Win 11 24h2 I have been experiencing high CPU usage. I multistream using the combination of multistream (not the aitum one) and Tiktok live studio and my CPU usage use to be in the 0.4% range streaming to 5 channels. Since the update I now experience OBS usage in excess of 25%. I also experience issues where certain instances of scenes will freeze games, which has not happened before. These errors have been specific to after the win 11 24h2 update. Will I be able to find old logs showing before and after.

Beacouse x264 use CPU for encoding, NVIDIA NVENC H.264 use GPU for encoding.
