Use Advanced Driver Updater<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced Driver Updater is a third-party driver updater software that allows users to update drivers with a few mouse clicks. This software can scan and identify driver anomalies on your PC. It can then download and install the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/how-to-find-existing-driver-versions-on-your-windows-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest driver version<\/a> for your hardware. Here are the steps to use this app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Here is what you need to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Open OBS \u2192 <\/span><b>Settings \u2192 Advanced<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

Lower Bitrate (e.g., 2500\u20134000 Kbps for 1080p)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Under Recording, set Recording Format to .mkv instead of .mp4 (less prone to corruption).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 7: Disable Or Remove Problematic Plugins<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third-party plugins (like StreamFX, OBS VirtualCam, etc.) often cause instability after updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
