OBS STUDIO is having problems with Windows 11?

My OBS is turning off my monitor, freezing the screen and/or crashing the preview, all without even opening live or recordings, just opening and adjusting the sources and scenes.

I've tried countless settings, made several changes to both Windows and OBS settings, followed several tutorials, nothing works, everyone always says the same things, and in the end, nothing works.

- I updated the video card, updated OBS, updated DirectX 11, updated Windows. - I already open OBS as an administrator, in compatibility I have already tried to run Windows 8 and 7, "disable full screen optimization"
- I have already set it to high performance everywhere, with high energy consumption, I changed DPI for application, in properties and destination of the OBS shortcut I put "F:\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe --force-gpu-index 1" or "F:\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe --force-gpu-index 0". In OBS, under VIDEO settings, I set my monitor resolution to "2560x1440", but I've tried setting it to 1920x1080 and it doesn't work, also a bug, and in output resolution I set it to 1920x1080, in filters I've tried Lanczos, Bilinear and Bicubic, FPS I've tried 30 or 60.
In Advanced/video renderer, I only have the Direct3D 11 option and in Sources, I've tried enabling or disabling the "Enable browser hardware acceleration" option
And nothing works, I've seen dozens of tutorials on the internet, I've talked for hours and hours with ChatGPT, nobody comes to a conclusion, just bugs and problems after problems.

So, does this bug have a solution or not?

My PC: Xeon E5 2640 v3, 80Gb of memory, RTX 3060TI
 
If you have a log from OBS, then that would help. I see that it's doing the same thing to your monitor as well as mine. I usually keep my preview turned off. If you turn it on, then the screen goes black. It sounds like a driver issue for sure. This should also get some attention from the NVIDIA teams too.

You could try the hotfix: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...cing-geforce-hotfix-driver-57615-released-42/

I have not tried this hotfix yet, but I shall.

Hello, I tried here, I removed the current driver through "DDU" and then installed this driver that you provided "576.15". After restarting the PC, I opened OBS Studio and nothing, the preview was completely frozen. After a while, the monitor turned off again.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

In Windows 11, clicking on "system/display/Graphics/Advanced graphics settings" and DISABLING the "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" option, after restarting the PC, opening OBS Studio, it works normally, as far as I can see.

However, this option is terrible, because I need this option enabled for better performance in other features that I use.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
