Just having OBS open creates massive input lag on PC

Hey all,

Issue i've been struggling with ever since installing OBS again a couple weeks ago. Just having the program open results in massive input lag, especially noticeable when typing. It's also highly noticeable when switching tabs in a browser and clicking on links. The whole system seems to just operate in slow motion.

This happens when I'm not streaming or recording, just having the program open causes this. Closing OBS results in normal system operation.

Windows 10 Pro x64 version 20H2
Intel Core i9-8950HK
nVidia RTX 2080
32GB DDR4 3200MHz

CPU usage sits at around 5-10%, so CPU is not the issue.
Memory utilization sits around 30%, so available memory is not the issue.

Please help. I've looked around and it seems I'm one of only a few people that have ever experienced this issue.
