I get a white screen (or black screen with Chrome) when using Window Capture.
Here's the caveat: It's been working fine for months. Abruptly the problem occurred.
(See attached images).
• I'm using a PC (not laptop)
• Tried opening OBS as administrator
• Tried removing OBS and downloading it again

No. I'll try that. (I don't know how to do it). The problem occurs with both Firefox and Chrome.
Also,
A thunderstorm knocked out the power. When it came back on, OBS worked fine.
Next day, the issue resurfaced.
I turned off the breaker box simulating a power outage. When it came back on, OBS worked fine.
Next day, the issue resurfaced.
I tried a hard shut down (turned off the computer using the on/off switch). When it came back on, OBS worked fine.
We'll see tomorrow if the issue resurfaces. It likely will resurface.

Yep. That seemed to work. Thanks.

But I wonder what caused the glitch? I've changed nothing that I know of.

I'm having the same issue, but for all window capture (not just browsers). It was working fine until yesterday so I'm guessing something has updated, but I don't know what...

If it is affecting all windows and not just browsers, it's not the same issue. Make a new thread and post a log.
