Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log and the reported Windows 11 startup and shutdown sequence. Reproduce the issue using the listed steps, then determine whether a clean shutdown still causes the Safe Mode unclean-shutdown warning. Done means OBS starts normally without that prompt after shutting Windows down from the Start menu.
