I updated OBS Studio today to the 11th March update and now whenever I open OBS it comes up with an error message:

"The following OBS plugin failed to load:
win-dshow
Please update or remove these plugins"

I don't know what win-dshow is and I don't know how to update/remove it. I also don't get Video Capture Device in my list of sources and the one I had already added was in red and I couldn't do anything but remove it. I uninstalled OBS and installed the update fresh and I still get the error.

Edit: It was Windows Security. After uninstalling it and re-opening it several times and trying to figure out what the issure was for an hour, I got a notification from Windows Security saying "part of this app has been blocked". Of course it was on by default couldn't tell me the first time I opened OBS.

Hey, do you remember what you did exactly? I have the same problem, but can´t find a fix nor do i get a notification. OBS has access to my camera, so it has to be a new setting or something that changed with the latest windows update i was forced to do
