OBS Immediately Crashes for Scheduled Streams and Loses YouTube Settings

Been using OBS for over a year and for the most part it worked fine. The past couple of weeks it would crash after an hour of YouTube Live streaming, usually when switching between scenes. Checked graphic card info and other settings. Then uninstalled and reinstalled OBS (27.1.3)
The program will load okay but it crashes as soon as I try to start a Scheduled YouTube Live stream under "Manage Broadcast." This ONLY happens for the Scheduled Streams. It works fine when you start an unscheduled stream or when you manually enter the streaming server key information. If I go to YouTube and enable "Auto Start" on the Studio page for the Scheduled program OBS will begin the Scheduled stream without crashing one time but won't begin a new one without crashing. I never had to enable Auto Start before.
Also, I see that under "Settings" after it crashes it has disconnected from my YouTube account and requires going through the Connect To YouTube process all over again.
I haven't made any changes on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

have you an chrash log
11:09:55.919: McAfee Firewall: disabled (FW)
deinstall mc afee windows defender make the same job
That's the bad part. Most of the time it doesn't generate a crash log. I know I said it "crashes" but actually the program just closes itself. Rarely does it actually give an "OBS has crashed message."
I'm attaching the last actual crash log I received.
The McAfee isn't actually supposed to be active but I'm removing it anyway as due diligence.

I had a similar issue in 2020 and the beginning of 2021

Possible network issues ? We had a similar issue and comcast carrier problems as I had to beat them up as the upload speeds would go from 35 meg up , head down to close to 2 to 2.5 meg for a second recover and then crash OBS . Once this was resolved it became somewhat stable for about 3 hour broadcasts but we still had some problems as I kept calling . Finally they replaced some equipment on the street then increased the Node bandwidth given to us . I still see it go down to about 10 but at least its stable .. OBS Sees something like this and crashes infrequently .

I am experiencing that same thing. I can't get a crash log but OBS thinks I am using an old version of windows which I am not. Completely reinstalled windows just to make sure. This issue delays streams up to 40 minutes while I just keep reopening and trying to get it to connect. Anyone found a solution to this issue? It is not an internet issue either.
