OBS Studio log

If you added any plugin or script, remove it.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling OBS?
The log file is cut short so there's nothing to indicate any issue. Also, you may want to enable security in windows (antivirus and firewall) as it may be a symptom of a malware.

Also, you may want to give it a try to OBS 29.1.1

Thanks for the reply.
Removed VST plug-ins. I don't think I put the script in because I don't know what it is.
I uninstalled OBS and installed 29.1.1. windows security is enabled. It still won't start.Log file attached.

Run OBS as admin. Restart the computer also.
And probaly you want to do a clean install of the GPU driver.

It's really strange. There's no crash report?
If nothing helps, uninstall OBS and remove the %appdata%\obs-studio\ folder. Make sure to backup the scene collection and profile if needed. Then reinstall.

I can start OBS after uninstalling the driver with DDU, but when I install the driver, it won't start.
I looked at the crash report and found nothing. I've posted a picture to prove it.

Reinstalled OBS and it wouldn't start.

Besides OBS, the live streaming software called StremlabsDesktop will not start. Maybe they have something in common.

Your log stops after

13:55:54.747: NVENC supported
13:55:55.342: [NVENC] AV1 is not supported
13:55:55.343: [noise suppress]: NVIDIA AUDIO FX version: 1.2.0.13

At my system, there are these entries (and it continues):

17:43:06.910: NVENC supported
17:43:07.523: [noise suppress]: NVIDIA denoiser disabled, redistributable not found or could not be loaded.
17:43:07.523: Failed to get NVVideoEffects.dll version info size
17:43:07.524: [NVIDIA VIDEO FX]: FX disabled, redistributable not found or could not be loaded.
17:43:07.942: [obs-websocket] [obs_module_load] you can haz websockets (Version: 5.2.2 | RPC Version: 1)

For me, it appears as if it crashed for you within the initialization of some Nvidia API I don't have installed: Audio noise suppression and Video FX something. It crashed for you before it gets to the obs-websocket initialization. So it's probly one of these Nvidia APIs.
I suggest you uninstall/update these Nvidia APIs, which are a separate download and separate install from the video driver.

Sorry but I don't know where the nvidia API is located.

Is this different?

I uninstalled the Nvidia audio effects sdk and was able to start OBS!
I am very grateful to you both. Thank you very much!
