OBS 28.0.3 Installer Bug

[AntsArt]

I deleted OBS from my computer because It was not recording all my video and I was planning to download it again. When I downloaded the installer though, It came up whit this message saying that OBS Studio is open when it is not. Can someone please help me fix this issue.

BTW I'm on Windows 10 if that helps.

I'm suspecting you deleted manually from selected folders on the disk drive, vs uninstalling?
That message would typically mean you did NOT uninstall/remove OBS previously

For others to help you, you may need to provide (exact/technical) details of what you did when you "I deleted OBS from my computer". Sorry.. but saying you 'deleted an application' is ambiguous

check task manager for any instances of OBS, end any found, and try again.

Have you restarted Windows?
Probably a bad configuration on windows is not liberating the process and the only way to liberate all processes is restarting, not turn off and on, restart.
