OBS refuses to start minimized to tray

Hello,

Having issues with trying to get OBS to start minimized to tray. When I have the in-app setting enabled, my OBS will crash on startup and post a crash log like the one below. This would force me to open the global.ini and revert the settings there by setting the minimize to tray parameter to false, which would allow the program to run afterwards. I am currently on OBS Studio 28.0.2

For alternatives, I've tried having OBS run minimized via Properties from the Windows context menu, but to no avail. I would actually be ok if it started minimized on the taskbar, so is there any way to have that work?

Hi
I had the same problem. Maybe it's because of a Windows update or something. The only thing that worked for me is the compatibility setting of the application. I just set it to Windows 8 and it worked again.

Hope this helps you.
