Question / Help OBS Studio stops responding on startup

[sirharkington]

When I open OBS Studio, it opens, but as soon as it opens, it stops responding and displays a white screen.

I tried reinstalling OBS Studio, restarting my PC, uninstalling the latest windows update and updating/reinstalling gpu drivers.

Don't know if it is related, but your Windows is out of date:

19:46:31.974: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 17134 (revision: 648; 64-bit)

This also means that Game Mode is on and cannot be turned off w/o registry editing. This option can negatively impact OBS performance in some situations.

I'll update it right now and see if it fixes the problem.

I just updated windows and the problem persists.

It turned out to be a conflict with the Malwarebytes Application Tray.
Once I killed it in task manager, OBS started working again.
