OBS not recording video

[iceandlights]

hi all, Ive used OBS several times, today it just wont record video. All seems ok....window appears, starts recording but when its exported no video file is sent, all that appears is a text file. Any ideas? ive checked all the settings and tried changing some, no difference. https://obsproject.com/logs/pv_E0k39bWvntb_q

The files C:/Users/User/Videos/2021-04-25 19-54-03.mkv and C:/Users/User/Videos/2021-04-25 19-57-02.mkv are just text files? Such as as you can open them in notepad and read them?
See if these changes make any difference:
1. The new Windows 10 Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") added with version 2004 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. It's a new and experimental feature and we recommend disabling it via this screen or these instructions.
2. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
