This is a forum bump from almost 1 year ago, I did this method:

One last thing we could try is to give OBS a completely blank configuration. Go to %appdata% and rename the obs-studio directory to obs-studio-old. Try OBS again and see if that works.

I upgraded to latest version of OBS for Windows and now it working, even though my settings were lost.
