OBS starts but closes straight away, no crash logs (Resolved - Windows Defender blocked Streamlabs Plugin)

[Adrian Schofield]

Hi All

Has anyone seen this before? After I boot my PC I start OBS, nothing happens. I try this a couple of times and probably on the third or fourth attempt to start I'll see the OBS window appear and then disappear straight away. I've enclosed a log file but there are no crash logs.

I've tried reinstalling OBS but I just get the same behaviour. The only changes I can think of that I have made since OBS worked correctly was to update my Nvidia drivers and Samsung Magician.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

OK I found the problem, leaving the details here in case anyone else sees this.

I use the Streamlabs plugin and Windows Defender was seeing it as a potentially dangerous app. I approved the app and now OBS starts. This is what Windows Defender was showing me:
