Usually that is caused by some kind of antivirus or other third party program interfering with OBS' normal operation.

Not sure who you mean, so probably not me.

Try these steps, and try to replicate the issue:

Make a clean log file: First restart OBS, then start your stream/recording for ~30 seconds and stop it again. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc. When you're done select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.

Take longer than 30 seconds if needed. Try having a hotkey set for start/stop recording/stream and see if that helps.

Also, can try running OBS as administrator.
