Just like the title says. Whenever I open OBS Studio it crashes almost immediately, with the prompt to copy crash log to clip board. I have taken the following steps to try and resolve this issue:

updated my GPU drivers to what's currently available
updated elgato drivers and software
uninstalled/reinstalled OBS Studio
tried running OBS Studio as admnistrator
tried running OBS Studio in compatibility mode for Windows 7 (a common solution I saw online that did not work for me)

I may have posted this too hastily. I was unsure of what to look for in the crash log, but I deleted the "libecef.dll" file and OBS Studio appears to be working fine now.
 
Scratch that. Deleting "libcef.dll" gets the program to stop crashing, but then I do not have access to browser sources. Is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue? I have already reinstalled OBS Studio again and see that the libcef file is restored and I can see the browser source option in the program.
 
You have way too many browser sources. You should probably move those scenes to scene collections.
 
I just decided to do a complete uninstall, removed all of my settings, made sure there were no files left in appdata or program files, completely clean. Once I reinstalled the program it does stay open, but going through the auto configuration wizard it crashes when I hit the option to connect my Twitch account. Looking in the crash log, it mentions the same problem file as before (libcef.dll). https://obsproject.com/logs/vB0UD_N6gX1OmICe
 
This is caused by an obsolete flash player installed on your system. Try removing or updating it.
