Question / Help OBS shows blank screen/shows whatever screen is in front of Pokemon Showdown/ some other windows...

So, I just got a new PC, installed OBS and the program Pokemon Showdown. Upon the first couple of days, everything was fine, the window was capturing perfectly and I was able to set up a proper recording that was to my liking. However, about 2 days ago it stopped working with the app. Also, other apps like System Settings and twitch were blank/black screened (not trying to record those, I was just testing and they don't show up either). I hit up Nvidia, to see if it was a graphics card issue, and I updated and rolled back the drivers to all different types of versions, but to no avail...Really struggling to find a proper solution online, or with Nvidia themselves, their chat help suggested that it was OBS that was the problem, so here I am. Getting this to work would be lifesaving, I appreciate any and all help guys. Log uploaded with this post. Thanks

It is NOT an issue with OBS

Pokemon Showdown is a NW.js (previously known as node-webkit) App
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/why-cannt-obs-embed-handle-my-website.75104/

you had to edit
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pokemon Showdown\package.json"
and add "chromium-args": "--disable-gpu",

Code:
{
  "name": "Pokemon Showdown",
  "version": "0.3.0",

  "main": "index.html",
  "node-remote": "play.pokemonshowdown.com",
  "no-edit-menu": false,
  "window": {
      "icon": "icons/icon_32x32.png",
    "title": "Loading...",
    "toolbar": false,
    "show": false
  },
  "chromium-args": "--disable-gpu",
  "webkit": {
    "plugin": true
  }
}
