OBS freezing while trying to launch it

You can rename current scene collection (both .json and .json.bak files) located in:
%APPDATA%\obs-studio\basic\scenes
and rename current profile folder located in:
%APPDATA%\obs-studio\basic\profiles

OBS will unable to find the original files, so will try to load default settings. After this, the main menu for Profile and Scene Collection may be broken (depending on version), but the program is expected to start normally.

Other approach here is to try to start OBS in portable mode from different folder (Profiles and Scene Collections can be imported later). For OBS portable mode, please, read after the words "If it was not clear": https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/crash-with-«could-not-find-locale-ini-path»-when-opening-app-settings.82157/post-346499 or in the Help: https://obsproject.com/kb/portable-mode
