OBS Opens and Immediately Closes on Launch.. lets make this kitty purr

[qtcat]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with OBS Studio where it briefly opens and then immediately closes. Here's what I've tried so far to resolve the problem:

Restarted my PC.
Checked for updates to OBS and installed the latest version.
Updated my GPU drivers.
My system specs are:

Operating System: (e.g., Windows 10/11, macOS)
CPU: Core i7-14700F Processor
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB
RAM: 32GB

I've also checked the logs folder, but I'm unsure how to interpret the logs or identify what might be causing the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I followed the article it says to delete a streamlabs OBS Plug In needs to be unistalled but my Streamlabs is currently using it and it won't let me uninstall it. Is there an alternate way to go about this or will I have to uninstall streamlabs?

I believe I had this same issue, and this is what I did to fix it.

TLDR: Uninstall OBS and Streamlabs OBS and any plugin managers then reinstall OBS.

Instructions:
I used the windows search bar at the bottom of the desktop and typed in "remove".

I used the windows (add or remove) feature to do the following below.

Uninstalled OBS and all scenes and files associated with the application (It might have you check a few boxes with these options as you uninstall).

Uninstall Streamlabs OBS plugin managers.

Uninstall Streamlabs OBS.

Reinstalled OBS.

Run OBS and now it should work.

Now the problem for me has been fixed, hopefully this is helpful.
