After updating windows 10 on my laptop to version 1903, OBS stopped working, now it is fixed!

Man, I've been trying for days to fix this. Im so glad you explained the whole power draw thing because if you didn't I would be stumped

Heres a tip, if it still shows a black screen, remove your display capture and add it again. Hope this helps

This has never happened to me before, the first YouTube tutorial I clicked on actually fixed my issue. You're a life saver.

Life. Saver.
Scrolled through endless forums and the solution ended up being a million times easier than I thought! A million thanks for the video man.

Been spending the past forty minutes trying to figure this out, and it’s finally working :D

It was really nice how you explained why you did what you did, thank you!!

I have tried many solutions, but set graphic to saving mode => solve my problem...
thanks for your simple video.

3:16 The only problem with doing "power saving mode" is that that when you record the quality goes WAYYYY down. Is there any way to fix this and still use the higher quality card? When I click the "High performance mode" I get the black screen again. Also the game capture doesn't work for me at all, the game capture is always a black screen.

This saved me, even a year later, thanks man. Really.

Thank you so much!
I'm a beginner at recording anything on my computer really, and I want to make art timelapse videos for my page.
You saved me!!

My problem is that my Capture device source which I use a Elgato HD60S+ for my PS4 screen shows a blackscreen. All the videos on the Blackscreen problem is about Game Capture and Display Capture but what about Capture Device Blackscreen. Can anyone help me with this?

I wasted time through 6 other videos where they all had an Nvidia Control Panel to adjust. I don't on my cheap laptop. Your instruction of setting it to my resident display card did the trick. Thanks a bunch Kevin!!

I say it does fix the display capture issue, but when you play a game and load up the game capture video. its still black. So i go in and change it to high performance like i did last time it worked, but this time both are blacked out, and when i have minecraft open and flip between scene 1 and gameplay scene. The game crashes with error 0. So do I just try other software instead of OBS on my nitro 5 laptop? I did everything in my power and all the information to fix the problem didnt work, so i am at a loss right now on doing streaming nor video recording...
