Critical
No GPU driver available
Your GPU is using the Microsoft Basic Render Driver, which is a pure software render. This will cause very high CPU load when used with OBS. Make sure to install proper drivers for your GPU. To use OBS in a virtual machine, you need to enable GPU passthrough.
Warning
Old Version (30.0.2)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (30.0.2). Please update to version 30.1.1 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.
Warning
Windows 10 Version Unknown
You are running an unknown Windows 10 release (build 20348), which means you are probably using an Insider build. Some checks that are applicable only to specific Windows versions will not be performed. Also, because Insider builds are test versions, you may have problems that would not happen with release versions of Windows.
