I have been using obs studio no problem now for about 6 months, now all the sudden after this update my cpu usage stays above 25% even when it is simply open. Help?

Go to the Scene Collection menu at the top of OBS and create a new one, call it Test or something similar. Does OBS still have high CPU usage?

Yes it does. I believe i have fixed it though, my elgato was trying to encode at 1920, switched it to 720 and the cpu usage has dropped dramatically.

Ah, yeah, that will do it. Capture cards can be pretty nasty to decode over USB.
