OBS crashes immediately on 2 different macbooks on bootcamp

So i have a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch and 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro, both have Windows 10 installed on Bootcamp and when launching OBS, it just immediately freezes my entire computer, and then restarts my computer.

I have tried reinstalling windows, doing windows updates, running apple software update, updating drivers, just about anything and OBS refuses to work. There are like 1-2 times out of the hundreds of times ive tried getting it to work it works without issue, but that's a 0.2% chance for some reason. I really want to get this to work so if someone has any ideas i would appreciate it a lot!

Update: Seems like the crashing only comes after i reboot windows after installing the drivers for the first time, i am using AMD Radeon Pro. This might be a graphics related thing that doesn't start but i dont know.
 
So I narrowed down the issue a little more, seems like the only way to get it to not crash is if I run minecraft or a game that kicks in the graphics, restarting or waking the computer from sleep then opening obs directly won't work
 
in addition, so i went into that problem more directly, and i found out that these processes were running after launching minecraft when obs worked perfectly. these were not running before launching minecraft and when obs crashed:

Intel local management service
Microsoft gaming services
Xbox gamebar widgets
Service host:gamedvr
Servicehost: graphicsperfsvc
servicehost: Network service
servicehost: Ssdp discovery
Unstack orchestat

if anyone needs windows logs or more details please let me know, i feel like its very easy now to identify the culprit. unfortunately obs does not provide crash logs, as nothing is in that folder.
