Start with disabling HAGS while OBS is closed. The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature in Windows is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. It's an experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via these instructions.
Hmm. I turned it off but I am still unable to keep OBS open. It just opens then closes again immediately.

okay, if you check your windows defender history you'll probably see that it has quarantined the streamlabs plugin which would cause this. you just need to fully uninstall the plugin, then uninstall OBS, then reinstall OBS if this is the issue.
this actually fixed it for me. streamlabs-obs was messing up my setup and now it opens normally. thank youAlso, worth a look at more detail instructions how to delete plugins.
