OBS was working fine, but because of some other issues I had to reinstall Windows 10 yesterday. I' had to reinstall all of my apps. I reinstalled OBS and now when I launch the app, the screen doesn't show in the OBS display. What do I have to configure?

You don't appear to have a screen capture in your scene's Sources. OBS has to be told what to capture, it does not default to capturing everything.

When I select the OBS Virtual Camera, this is what I see, not what's on the computer's desktop. When I select my Webcam, then I see in OBS what the webcam is seeing. So, it looks like the OBS Virtual Camera isn't working.

The OBS Virtual Camera is for use in other programs, like Zoom.
If you want to capture your desktop, you need to add a Display Capture source.

Do you have any suggestions for a Display Capture source? My previous version of OBS had one and as soon as you launched the app, you would get the screen view.
