Question / Help OBS Local Recording with Nvenc?

[ElvisFate]

Every time I switch over to Nvenc for local recording the "Start Recording" will not start when I click on it. Hope you guys can help me out. I am able to use Shadowplay fine so I dunno what is wrong. Thanks.

People on this forum suggested to reinstall drivers:
not able to record
Cannot start recording with NVENC

Thanks Suslik V! I kinda figured it out myself. I had to update my driver in order for it to work! Thanks!
