How can this still be a problem? Like, seriously?
All I want to do is record the screen. Nothing more, nothing less. But a black screen appears instead of the desktop.
I have a Windows 10, 1909 version and I tried going into the display settings and set OBS to "Classic App" --> Power Saving. Didn't work. I tried changing the compatibility to Windows 7. Didn't work. I tried changing the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. Didn't work.
Can anyone help, please?

Check your logfiles. If it says OBS is running on your discrete, but you've already set it to run on the integrated, check that you've assigned the right executable (you might have more than one) or, if you installed using a package manager, or are running portable, the path to the executable may be wrong.

You're still running on the discrete, so no display capture.

Your log shows OBS running on the performance GPU. You need to set it to run on the power saving GPU, please double check your settings and make sure you're adding the right obs64.exe in case you have multiple installs.
