I can stream other games fine, but for some reason i cannot fathom, OBS simply doesn't show games from the Windows 10 store. How do i fix this?
 
Windows Store (UWP) games currently require extra permissions to be able to capture. If OBS is installed in the default (C:\Program Files (x86)) directory, these will be applied automatically. If you installed OBS to a custom location, you will need to add the ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES security group to the obs-studio folder. Follow these steps:

- Close OBS if it is already open
- Right click on the obs-studio program folder, select properties, then click on the Security tab.
- Under the Groups or user names section, click on Edit...
- Click add, then type in ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES. Select Check Names and it should underline to show it was typed.
- Click OK, then Apply, then OK, and finally OK again.
- Restart OBS and attempt to capture the game again
 
i don't know where my logs are and the process listed above did not change anything. Thanks for trying to help though.

I reinstalled OBS to the default C drive location. That didn't change anything either.

I don't see any capture attempt in this log. Maybe you have other logs? Are you trying to capture the game via the Game Capture source when the game running full screen?

Can you try to run OBS Studio as administrator (right-click menu over the obs desktop icon)?
 
According to the log you have monitor capture layered on top of the game capture (which won't be able to capture the game). We recommend not using monitor or window capture in the same scene as a game capture source. Then, manually select the UWP game in the Game Capture's properties.
 
I have the monitor capture enabled because the game capture won't capture the game. Going to completely erase OBS from my HDD this weekend. Maybe another reinstall will help.
 
Forza Horizon 4 cannot be captured using Game Capture, it'll cause the game to crash. You will have to use Display Capture for that one.
