Question / Help Screen freeze

First time poster. Let me know if I need to include any other details.

OBS v18.0.1

Issue started yesterday. No issue prior to yesterday.

Hardware Setup:
Desktop streaming through Elgato HD60 to laptop running OBS. HDMI to Elgato IN, DVI on monitor to Video Card. USB on elgato to laptop.

Laptop is i7-5500u @ 2.40Ghz w 8GB mem. Desktop is a lot beefier.


Issue:

When running OBS, I experience a screen freeze inside OBS. This is visible with or without stream on. The issue is reproducible by looking at OBS on laptop then grab and drag a window on desktop. There are clear periods of screen freeze that last about 1 second, occurring every ~10 seconds.

Issue goes away when I bypass OBS and use Elgato capture software. I thought it was a setting in OBS so I re-installed OBS and it occurs on a fresh install with all default settings.

OBS source: 'Video Capture Device'. Device - Elgator Game Capture HD.

Please advise.

Thank you.
