OBS – Fix Blank Bug after Update

How to Fix the Bug

When your main display that shows the screen on your computer is having issues, then what you need is to simply go to your Sources and double click on the display that is showing blank. You will then have another window pop up that shows Capture Method and Display. Click on Display and make sure that you select the monitor you are currently using to show your screen. It should then be fixed.

The reason why this bug is happening is that OBS is trying to make the software more Windows friendly, so they have to tweak some settings in the software to do that. However, that tweaking may have done more bad than good, which resulted in this rather weird bug with OBS.

Huge thanks to TroubleChute for the help in getting this bug fixed for all OBS users out there.

Elijah Hernandez is someone that loves video games since he was little. It didn't matter to him if people didn't like a video game. If it was fun, that was all that mattered to him. He's also a huge fan of superhero media like Marvel and DC, so he's practically played games like Spider-Man and the Batman Arkham games. He's also into multiplayer games that strike his fancy, specifically games like Call of Duty and Fortnite. Most especially Fortnite since he can play as different Marvel and DC characters in a battle royale against other famous and iconic characters.
