The Settings->output->change to software encoding did not work for me. I had this problem on a seldom used Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit computer. If any of you help me fix this error, I will be insanely grateful. This leads me to believe my install of OBS Studio is broken, but reinstalling it in different locations has done nothing to stop this error. NOTE: Nvenc encoding works with Streamlabs OBS for me. I want to stream with OBS studio specifically as it has all my scenes set up already, and my new GPU is coming in and I'm sure Nvenc encoding will not work even when I swap out the GPU as it seems to be an OBS Studio specific error. I want to stream/record using Nvenc and OBS studio. I have changed every setting around in the output tab while in advanced mode. I have reinstalled my GPU drivers after cleaning them out using DDU.

I have already reinstalled OBS studio multiple times in multiple different locations. I have run it with nothing else open and tried to record my desktop. I am running 64 bit OBS Studio, I have tried running it as administrator.

No matter what settings I change or what I do, I get this same error using Nvenc in OBS Studio.
