Expected Behavior

I would expect the OBS application to cleanly close during a standard Windows shutdown interaction.

Current Behavior

A crash dialog appears noting the exception being raised in the OBS application.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open OBS
  2. Stream to Youtube
  3. Stop streaming
  4. Shut down Windows while OBS is still running (but not streaming). Allow Windows to attempt to close OBS itself.
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked crash log and the previous and current OBS logs, then reproduce the shutdown sequence: stream to YouTube, stop streaming, and shut down Windows while OBS remains open. Done means OBS closes cleanly during a regular Windows shutdown without showing an exception or crash dialog.
