OBS Recording Problem - Problem saving recording

This isn't my area of expertise, but I don't think this is recoverable .. video frames never created/written to your drive
17:11:10.629: ==== Recording Start ===============================================​
17:11:10.629: [ffmpeg muxer: 'simple_file_output'] Writing file 'C:/Users/User/Videos/2021-11-09 17-11-10.mkv'...​

19:10:15.500: ==== Recording Stop ================================================​
19:10:15.687: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 9223/9261 (99.6%)​

Basically the above means your computer was to busy to encode the video frames 99.6% of the time. Why?
That is a REAL old (9+ yrs), low-end CPU, optimized for battery life, not the computationally demanding task of real-time video encoding.
I recommend monitoring hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) utilization [for ex. using Task manager’s Performance tab and/or Resource Monitor] to see if your system is being maxed out with your settings (and I'm sure your CPU is maxed out at 100% the entire time). And realistically, without a LOT of optimizations, I'd be surprised if such a system would do much.. ever. You can see these forums for recommended OBS settings on under-powered systems

'Koala' once indicated they thought a CPU benchmark (Passmark) of around 5000 was a minimum requirement. The Pentium 2020M gets about 1385 on Passmark. I tried last year to use a circa 2015 gaming laptop with an i5-6300HQ with an SSD and nVidea GPU for encode offload, which scores 4,682 on Passmark, and I could get OBS to run as long as I wasn't playing any pre-recorded videos (which was a requirement). And I'm fairly competent at optimization the Operating System (required as Microsoft default setting sap too much CPU with eye candy and other). So realistically, unless you have expert consulting available to you, and/or become fairly expert at optimizing Operating Systems and OBS, I wouldn't expect that old system to work. sorry.

Again, doubt it will help, but make Base Resolution and output resolution the same to minimize work (not having to re-scale video)

Very minor side note - It is recommend to NOT have audio input devices at different sampling rates, so fix (make consistent)
17:00:35.783: WASAPI: Device 'Altavoces (Conexant SmartAudio HD)' [44100 Hz] initialized
17:00:36.792: WASAPI: Device 'Internal Microphone (Conexant SmartAudio HD)' [48000 Hz] initialized

Also, if recording, why are you using Streaming setting with CBR (constant bitrate).. search forum for guidance on settings for Recording

2) Record using CQP or CRF, not CBR. CBR is only used for streaming, where the back-end infrastructure requires it. CQP/CRF are quality-target based encodes, and will use as much or as little bitrate as is needed to maintain a constant image quality. No wasting bitrate on simple/slow scenes, no choking on fast-moving or complex scenes. 22 is a good starting point. 16 will result in much larger files, but near-perfect video. 12 should only be used if you plan to edit and re-encode later, and will be VERY large. Anything lower than 12 shouldn't be used unless you know exactly why you need it, and what problems it can cause.​

Please excuse me jumping right in here, but this is why I try to generalize as much and try to never give absolute values in any post, so I cannot be quoted with values - except where this is the point of a post. If you take and quote values, please quote correctly and please don't take stuff out of context.
The context of the value 5000 is from here:
This is a low end CPU that lacks CPU power for live encoding and doesn't contain a hardware encoder. It's too weak.
According to https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A6-5350M+APU&id=1987 its benchmark score is 1049. Sensible scores start at about 3000, good scores at about 5000.
[...]
Please note carefully what I actually meant with 5000. This is not at all a "minimum requirement" but a "good" value. It all also depends on the resolution processed. Even the mentioned 3000 were not called "minimum requirement" but "sensible scores start at ...". You might get away with even less power, but that requires vastly reduced resolution and fps.

Anyway, the CPU from @giuliana.m30 is much too weak. There is no video to recover. It's all lost: 99.6% of all frames were not encoded due to lack of processing power. What is left of it can also not be called a video I bet, but a slideshow with only 30-40 images, not more.
 
Sorry @Kaola, I spent way too much time on this forum yesterday, and in my rush to get back to work, I was sloppy in my phrasing. Thanks for correcting me
