NVENC Start Failure
The NVENC Encoder failed to start due of a variety of possible reasons. Make sure that Windows Game Bar and Windows Game DVR are disabled and that your GPU drivers are up to date.
You can perform a clean driver installation for your GPU by following the instructions at Clean GPU driver installation.
If this doesn't solve the issue, then it's possible your graphics card doesn't support NVENC. You can change to a different Encoder in Settings > Output.
