Major Bug In New Release: 31.0.2 - Running A 2nd Instant Crashes And Is Non Responsive

Hello all,
So this morning i opened OBS to LIVE stream on YouTube, I have been doing this for just over a year now, every single day, with a total of 8 LIVE streams.
Everything works perfectly. I start my first instant of OBS, and then start up a second instant, etc..... running an old 1080 Ti.

So this morning I get the message a new version is available - 31.0.2 and so I upgrade. Bad decision. As soon as I open OBS, it goes into a screen mode
that doesn't show you the bottom area where you choose your media source etc... that panel is gone. The only way to get it back is to go up to the upper menu and choose "reset UI" , I thought this was strange, but continued on, and then realized this second instance of OBS will not exit. It's dead. I had to force it closed with windows control panel. So to get back on track here, I tried starting that second stream, and OBS crashed. I tried to exit but OBS on that second instance is just non-responsive. Strange stuff. I updated my video drivers, rebooted the system, and still the same errors. Thankfully I was able to go back to the previous version and everything is working once again. Not sure why that is happening. I've been through many upgrades and have never experienced this problem. Where do we post bug reports ?
