Some anti-cheat software that comes with competitive shooter games has a allowlist of 3rd party software that is allowed to inject to the process and capture content. For most anti-cheat software, OBS Studio is in that allowlist, but it's pinned to official releases. New official releases of OBS need an update of the allowlist in the anti-cheat software to be allowed again.

So you should wait for the corresponding game or anti-cheat software update before updating to a brand new released OBS.
If you already updated OBS, roll back to the previous version or try display capture instead of game capture. This should always work, because it is independent from the game.

However, games like WoW don't have such anti-cheat measures as far as I know. They will just continue working with game capture.

hi... only CSGO and Valorant have anti-cheat software.. but with a command in the game you can capture both games with OBS .. the problem its not that... the problem is that yesterday OBS was ok .. but today like i said i got the window of update from obs studio... like always i updated to the recent version but... now it doesnt let me capture any game... even World of Warcraft... that doesnt have an anti-cheat software or starcraft that doesnt have it either... so i only get the black screen when i try to capture a game. i didnt move anything ... because yesterday before update... everything was working fine .. and now i have this problem when i update obs studio

Please clarify what you mean by "window of update"

OBS released version at https://obsproject.com/download hasn't changed since early June and is still v27.0.1
Someone else commented that the Windows Store version of OBS Studio is NOT the official OBS Studio version... so beware
And if by update you mean a new OBS Studio Release Candidate for v27.1 then you are running Beta software.. you are acting as a tester... so issues are normal and to be expected.
*IF* you are running the release candidate version then
1. you should indicate that very relevant fact when asking for help
2. expect to troubleshoot pre-release software, and post issues as requested to the release candidate thread, which I think is https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-studio-27-1-release-candidate.147633/

if this isn't for OBS Release Candidate 27.1, but instead OBS Studio downloaded from this site, then I'd recommend following forum pinned post

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

Or, are you using Streamlabs OBS? if yes,

Streamlabs OBS [SLOBS] is a derivative version of OBS Studio, with the front-end hacksawed off and a webpage slapped over the top by the Streamlabs folks.

You should reach out to Streamlabs <https://support.streamlabs.com/hc/en-us> for support with their forked version.

i mean this update so .. the only solution for this problem that i found was uninstall obs and install it again... and not update it again

You probably updated to 27.1 not 27.1.1 which came out shortly after. 27.1 had a bug that broke game capture.
