Since two days or so recordings cannot be stopped any more. OBS has to be shut down via Windows task manager.
Whats's the solution?

Likely bad wiring. At least, try to re-plug your video capture devices (web camera, capture card etc).

As for the forced shutdown, please take a look at 3rd party software too. If it is installed and running it may cause interference for normal work of OBS. Here is the list of known problematic applications:

Known Application Conflicts | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

And there are other cases. For example, Logitech was known for overwriting OBS settings and sometimes for "never stopping" recordings:

Stopping Recording is stuck when I have an active Video Capture Device on my scene

Hi all! I'm having a big problem with OBS and it's driving me crazy. When I've finished recording, the program gets stuck on "stopping recording" and I have to force-close the "obs-ffmpeg-mux.exe" service to actually stop it. This causes the corruption of the recorded file (if it is a...

Websocket server keeps resetting on OBS restart

For me even the deactivated authentication reactivates itself automatically on restart.. If you open OBS as Administrator it will remind you settings... Yes I know it's stupid but it's the way I got this fixed.

Also, it wise to try OBS in safe mode (the --safe-mode command line key), so it will run with minimum set of plugins, just for the test purposes.

Thank you, Suslik!
In the meantime my OBS forgot nearly all about its settings, masks etc. The camera might cause some problems. Thank you for reminding me. Ansd I use Elgato STreamdeck. Maybe there's an issue too. But actually everything worked absolutely perfect for more than three months. I guess everything happened as a reaction of my last Windows update...
What does EOI and SOF mean (see code)?

Uninstall Logitune from your system and it should fix this.

EOI stands for "End Of Image" and SOF = "Start Of Frame" markers. Usually means data corruption for MJPEG stream (when missing).
