You caused the loss of my most important recording, thanks.

I updated the program, and it didn’t give any restart warning whatsoever. I proceeded and started recording a video. When I pressed the stop recording button, it froze and didn’t work. It only saved 5 seconds of the entire recording.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU! WHAT AN INCREDIBLY UNRELIABLE PROGRAM YOU HAVE MADE!
 
I agree with @rockbottom. NEVER update *anything* just before doing something important! That includes automatic updates as well as manual ones. Turn off all the automatic updating, and then DO UPDATE MANUALLY on a schedule that works for you, that provides enough time to TEST AND TROUBLESHOOT before you have to rely on it again.

In a different environment, I've heard far too many stories of Windows forcing an update and reboot in the middle of a church service, because that's the only time they ever had the lyric projection machine turned on. Same problem, same solution: completely disable the automatic stuff, and then *do* maintain it manually, *outside* of the critical time window.
(Immediately after the last service, perhaps? Or after your recording session? When you're still there and the machine is still on anyway, but the critical time has just ended...)

If you don't take the security patches, then you're gonna get hacked......
But take them on *your* schedule, not someone else's!
 
Rockbottom and Aaron were nice. I've just started my first cup of coffee, and not feeling so patient at the moment

Yes congratulations are in order. You did something REALLY stupid by updating a powerful, complex application (possibly with 3rd party plugins) and NOT thoroughly testing, and now want to blame others for your screw-up. I'm know such nonsense is politically in vogue at the moment, but really is silly, and you got better than you deserved in the above replies.

Congratulations for being today's poster child for PEBKAC. Go look in a mirror... that is who ruined your day

Want out of the dog house? ... start by sincerely apologize to the hard working OBS Studio developers for your misguided rant
