OBS lags when Browser opened (Firefox or Chrome)

Hello,

I updated Windows to Windows 11. Since this time OBS seems to have some issues. When we record or are streaming live on youtube and I open a browser window like Firefox or Chrome, my connection starts lagging, which means I have a delay, sometimes up to 7 seconds. After a while even the sound dropped. The picture was on during the stream.


This is the log file. What can I do?!

Thank you in advance.

If you look into your logfile, there is a huge number of inaccessible image files referenced by some media source, probably one or more of your media sources/slideshows. OBS continuously try to access these files and fail, and this results in severe performance impact.
Restore these files (they're missing) or remove them from the corresponding media sources.

To add:

The NDI plugin & runtime are both stale. I'm not sure if the lastest is fully vetted with OBS v31, might want to look into that before installing. At the minimum, the old should be removed along with the NDI v5 runtime.

Is there anything else I can do to not have the delay from OBS... is it a common issue, if you open a browser that it lags?

Even when I run it in safe mode without the 3rd party plugins like Downstream Keyer, it still lag. It's alright most of the time, when I only have OBS opened, once I open firefox or Chrome, in the foreground that means, the lag happens. And it takes some time (about 20 seconds) to readjust.
That is a big problem when going live and having to look at the browser as well, thus the lag happens and leads to soundproblems.

I always disable Game DVR & never run Malwarebytes when using OBS but that's just me.

Anyway, the log in incomplete & ends right as you start recording.

But, something may be wonky in your current Profile. You can test this by creating a New Scene Collection, add (1) Scene with (1) Source & then have at it with your browsers.

I found a solution:

Run OBS as an administrator. The lag only appears at my computer, when it's not started as admin.
