I wanted to record a game of Grow Up, but when I pressed "Stop Recording" All that happened was the button saying "Stopping Recording...", I knew it would take a while, So I left OBS Studio on overnight. And guess what? It still was trying to stop the recording! Can someone please tell me how to fix this? If you can, thank you for your help.

No log you've posted so far even has a started recording let alone an attempt to stop the recording.
If you don't want us posting "incomplete log" then post one with a recording attempt in it.

I had the same issue (and my log file(s) weren't significantly different than yours), and the only way I was able to resolve it was to bring the OBS window to the forefront and manually clicking STOP RECORDING. The hotkey that I had set in the options didn't work to stop the recording if the window wasn't in focus. There is another post (or more?) indicating a bug with the hotkey not working.

I tried uploading my log files to the analyzer without success, as the analyzer is only for OBS Classic log files. However, the analyzer always told me I had an incomplete log. Not sure what makes it's complete, though, as even closing OBS doesn't seem to produce a complete log (at least according to the analyzer). This isn't much help for newbies like me!

I've since stopped using OBS and have gone to Raptr/Gaming Evolved with my AMD card. Even when I got OBS to record and stop, it was a huge hit on my in-game performance - and the recording was poor quality at best. So, until more development happens with OBS Studio, I'd suggest using Raptr or Shadowplay, depending if your GPU is AMD or nVidia.

We don't want the analyzer links to the logs, we want the links to the logs themselves.

Getting poor quality with high system interference is generally caused by using poor settings.
