After recent Windows and OBS updates, I can no longer select my Nvidia NVENC H.264 as my encoder (Advanced/Output/Streaming/Video Encoder). This is with a GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. At first I got a popup telling me to update the NVENC driver. Windows told me this driver was up to date when I checked for updates. Then I installed the Nvidia App and attempted to "optimize" OBS and force the NVENC encoder (which it looked like it was doing). But then upon restarting OBS, I still don't see the NVENC option, and the optimized settings don't seem to persist in the Nvidia app.
My log is attached. It detects the Nvidia encoder, but still won't let me select it.
I can at least start streaming now (through Vimeo). Installing the Nvidia app seems to at least enabled me to do this.
But I still hear the occasional audio blipping that prompted the problematic Windows and OBS updates in the first place.
I'm not sure I'm using the Nvidia GPU as my encoder in a backdoor manner or not, but I definitely used to see it in the video encoder dropdown menu in OBS and I don't currently. Any guidance would be appreciated. :)
