OBS craches on startup

Hi,
Been searching posts and similar issues to mine for 2 days now and it seems I can't seem to find a fix.
OBS keeps crashing when i try to start it, either in safe mode or when started normally.
Not sure why it says in the log i'm using Windows 10, i'm using Windows 11 Pro.

Attaching the last logs.
Did troubleshooting steps like
- windows firewall
- allowed everything
- updated all my drivers
It's not from streamfx.
I did not reinstall, as I don't want to lose my settings i've made, because i'm not sure I remember how to do them again :D
Thx again for your help.

This is crash during creation of the shader cache for OBS internal needs. The error: "Unhandled exception: e06d7363" is strange. I think, that the "libobs-d3d11.dll!std::filesystem::_Throw_fs_error" call and the mentioned error says that the given path for the shader cache is not accessible. It can be wrong symbol (from Unicode set) in the file path or something else. The shader cache is located in: %APPDATA%\obs-studio\shader-cache try to remove this folder manually (it will be recreated on next OBS startup).

pretty strange stuff happening.
I remember I tried deleting it before but it gave some kind of error, and it was the only file I had.
I installed newest OBS version and now i'm trying to navigate to the path and shader-cache folder is not present.
I attached new crash report

If the folder is not present that's a bad sign - it means OBS can't write to your AppData folder. Check your filesystem permissions allow this. Also, does your username contain any unicode or other special characters?
