OBS Scene Freezes When Launching a Game

Hello everyone, I have a problem with OBS, and I'm not sure if it's related to the latest Windows 11 22H4 update. I’ve been using OBS without any issues for a year, but since last week, whenever I launch OBS and then a game, the scene freezes, but OBS itself still works. The image remains stuck even when I remove the sources. I’ve kept all my drivers and OBS updated. When I try Streamlabs OBS, there’s no issue, and when I start a stream, everything moves as it should, but on my personal scene, nothing happens. If I stay on the scene for 3 to 4 minutes, it eventually stops freezing, but once I switch back to the game, the scene freezes again. I’m using an NVIDIA graphics card, and I’m using specific window capture with no plugins installed other than the default ones from OBS. If anyone has a solution, I’d appreciate it, as I’ve been using OBS for a year with no issues, and I feel like this update might be the cause, unless it’s something else.

You should be using Game Capture to capture games. If that doesn't work, run OBS as Administrator. If that doesn't work, then
