Bug Report OBS won't start because it's already running

Sorry to re-hash this but I can't seem to find an answer. I read thru another thread from last year that sounded like they found a fix by changing some binaries and stuff or what not because of a browser source bug? The thread said they had a fix coming in version 17.0.1 or what not but a later post said it was version 18 and no fix had been implemented. My OBS Studio was not showing my webcam or my game capture, and when I tried to click properties for either it would lock up OBS. Then I uninstalled and went to reinstall but got the message that OBS was already running. So I found the OBS running in Task Manager in background process, 2 processes. I ended those and was able to install OBS Studio. Tried to open and could not cause it was running in background again. Shut down processes, and tried to restart OBS, same thing. Then I shutdown computer and restarted, and tried opening OBS first thing and it didn't work. Tried a few more times of shutting down background process and restarting OBS with no luck. I tried to create a file dump and when it gave me the "path" of where it was saved it's saved to a location on my laptop that I can not find.

Any help is much appreciated.

Bump - I don’t normally res dead threads but this problem is still alive for me, and I would rather get this fixed than use deploy or something.
