Has anyone had any issues when upgrading to Windows 11? Specifically, it seems to freeze when trying edit the game capture source or the media source.

Reinstall windows 10 as win11 has more issues than benefits. I like to call it the new vista.
Microsoft already acknowledge the issues.

I never had the slightest issue with Windows 11. I updated a month ago, I created a new favorites collection in the start menu, and was done. Everything is working fine as with Windows 10.
Don't laugh, but the main reason to update was the centered start button and centered task bar. Just a must for my ultra wide screen monitor.

It's very important of course to keep the video driver current. Afterwards, I updated the Nvidia driver to current as well as the Intel drivers for the Intel iGPU that has no monitor connected but is present nonetheless. I did a full reinstall (delete settings) for the Nvidia driver to get rid of any settings that might have been Windows 10 specific. I don't know any, but just in case.

I have the same issue. I decided to keep using OBS version 27.2.4 with Windows 11, everything fine but i notice that obs hangs/freezes most of the time because of NDI Plugins. When i removed the ndi plugins from the system. It wont freeze anymore and OBS just work perfectly with Windows 11 ver. 22H2 but i really need that ndi plugins eh...
