Can you guys please help me out, I really like using OBS, but for the last two months I haven't been able to capture anything on my screen or record anything. When I go to record I get this message:

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Your GPU driver is VERY out of date. You need to update it.

You're on a laptop. To use Display Capture, you'll have to set OBS to run on the integrated GPU. Starting with Windows 10 1903 and onward, the method for doing that selection has changed.

Do be aware that this will DISABLE Game and Window capture, and that Display Capture should only ever be used as an absolute last resort.
