Question / Help win 1909 update breaks obs and gives black screen on display capture

[some1else1999]

Title about sums it up

1909 update doesn't allow nvida control panel to let obs use the on board graphics. Uninstalling the update returns all functionality to obs.

Any ideas on a patch or something.


I hate when windows breaks things

Reposting of original thread here with more info. made this with a better title so it doesnt get skimmed over

I solved it thanks to this Italian tutorial https://youtu.be/wb4mDc4HwJE

Can confirm @MattiaSaetta 's solution. For anyone who doesn't understand Italian (though it's pretty easy to follow the tutorial even without understanding it I think):
1. Open Windows Settings ( just write Settings in Start)
2. Go to System -> Display
3. Scroll down to find Graphic Settings ( right above "Sleep Better")
4. Hit Browse
5. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit or C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit or C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit Whatever the path is for you depending on your setup..Basically just find obs launcher
6. Select obs64.exe (or whatever it's called for you)
7. Hit Add
8. You should see OBS added as an app below. Hit Options.
9. Switch to Power saving. You should see your Power Saving GPU being the onboard gpu and the High performance GPU being your nvidia or whatever you are using.
10. Test display capture in OBS.

Cheers!
