OBS keeps freezing randomly

Hi there,

Yesterday I was motivated enough to finally switch from Streamlabs to OBS. While configuring everythingc OBS froze constantly. In maybe 8 hours of work, it froze like 30-40 times. That was a lot and super annoying. I also did a test stream after configuring everything and the freeze also occured during the stream as well.
OBS does not close itself when it freezes. I have to force close it via the Task Manager. And I start OBS again without the Safe Mode.

Plugins I installed yesterday:

OBS version: 30.1.2

Logfile from when the crash happens: https://obsproject.com/logs/OVsfiG6dBlOL1f1K
The crash happens after I tried to move my window source to the left (I adjusted the layout).

I hope someone can help me. I really want to leave Streamlabs behind and don't want my hours of work get wasted ;-;
Thank you!

Remove the plugins. All of them. OBS should be "vanilla" flavor and working correctly before you start adding plugins. Streamelements plugin is one that always causes issues and you need this plugin for absolutely nothing.
Make sure all the plugins you install are compatible with the version of OBS you're using.
Win audio capture may cause issues too, like the one you described. Some vertical plugins too.

Once you have a clean installation of OBS, start adding one by one, testing in each one added. This will tell you the one that is causing issues and should not be installed, much like streamelements plugin.
