Won't capture game or display even though it used to

[OrenjiSlama]

Hey,

I had OBS for a while and it always worked, but recently, it hasn't been able to capture any game or even my display/desktop. It just shows a black screen for everything. When I tested with another broadcaster, it was able to capture the game, so I'm assuming this is something interfering with OBS, but I'm not sure what would be interfering since I turn off everything else. I did all the instructions i found online for this issue but none of them have worked. Thanks

Depending on your Windows version and what sources you wish to use, you may need to set OBS to run on a specific GPU. Not sure which Windows version you have? Press Windows+R and run "winver". For Windows 10 1909 or newer: Open Settings and search for "Graphics Settings". Select "Classic App"...
