OBS is crashing as soon as it opens on Windows 11 Pro

[snovshad]

I used OBS studio on this same laptop running Windows 10 without any problem. After installing Windows 11 Pro, OBS crashes as soon as it starts. Attached is the crash log. Please help to troubleshoot.

Thanks

The crash has traces of NVIDIA graphics driver. Consider to install more stable version of the video driver.

Thanks Suslik V the problem was indeed related to NVIDIA graphic controller.
When I disabled the controller OBS started to work. There is another build in Intel graphic controller so only this one is enabled. Having said this, other programs including NCH recorder work perfectly fine with NVIDIA controller enabled. It seems that when there are 2 graphic controllers, OBS perhaps can't chose which one to use and that's why it crashes. But I might be wrong about this. Anyhow just wanted to give feedback.

Ideally OBS and the content it's capturing should be running on the same GPU otherwise you may need to use Window and/or display capture.

Actually it crashes as soon as it starts after installation. It doesn't even go far to capturing.
