OBS keeps shutting down while starting up

Hello,

I am a daily streamer and once i open up OBS, it immediately closes the application on its own. I've tried every remedy to fix this. From running as administrator, compatibility mode, updating gpu drivers, allowing app through windows firewall, repair corrupted/ lost files, uninstall/ reinstall obs, restarting pc - nothing works to maintain OBS from crashing. Please help. I have attached the log file.

Thanks in advance.

Compatibility mode is more likely to break things than fix them, reset those settings back to off.

If you had kick popouts added as browser docks, you're going to need to open %appdata%\obs-studio\global.ini and delete the entire extrabrowserdocks line

It worked! I've removed compatibility mode and removed Kick browser docks. It looks like the main issue was the Kick browser docks, but now its going to be a hassle reading the chat without it being on OBS. Anyways, thank you for that!
