Expected Behavior

- Wait +15 Minutes
- Close OBS
...
Anything else we should know?
Once OBS has been running for over 15 minutes, it will improperly close down. Only on rare occasions it will close without issues. This happens in both Safe & Normal Modes, even letting it run without recording or streaming. The preview screen widens and hangs for a few seconds. This issue can sometimes prevent any changes done in OBS to save properly. Unfortunately no crash logs are being generated.
I did a clean re-install of OBS just as an extra precaution but the error persists. This issue started to occur since the release of 30.0 last year. I really didn't pay too much attention and ignored it until I noticed settings aren't being saved at times.
I've uploaded additional logs. Normal run, safe mode run, then normal run again (closing in a few short minutes to prevent the error. Please let me know what I can do to assist further if needed.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the three attached log files and the linked OBS log, then reproduce the shutdown after OBS 30.1.2 has been running for more than 15 minutes on Windows 10. Done means OBS closes normally without the preview widening or hanging, and settings are saved reliably.
