Bug Report OBS Crashes Randomly, and with Hosts

I have been streaming as normal all week, and OBS has been crashing randomly, but even more so almost every time someone hosts me. The alert freezes, then the stream freezes, then OBS crashes/quits responding. Then I have to force quit out of the application because it won't just close. I am using the browser source or TwitchAlerts (now StreamLabs). I also tried downloading the latest version of OBS that was made available (0.16.5), but it cannot install. I get this message every time I try to install it:

Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files 9x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\32bit\cef-bootstrap.exe

Click Retry to try again, or Cancel to stop the installation

Here's the log from my latest stream:

If I click retry, the same message just pops up every time. So I'm very confused as to what is happening. I need to have this fixed so that my stream doesn't crash every time I get a host, and if this latest update was that fix, I obviously need a way to install it. Thank you for your time.

Hi! That error means that files are still in use. Restart your computer, then try to run the installer.

Can you elaborate on this? I've been using OBS for a year now and this just started happening to me two weeks ago. I have no idea what to do.
