Expected Behavior
for OBS to never ever freeze/hang when it autostarts after I boot my PC
Current Behavior
OBS window/application freezes entirely with this state in memory (.dmp file for analytics): https://ufile.io/ewdhgi2p
Steps to Reproduce
- launch OBS with these parameters (put the shortcut into your shell:startup folder) by booting your PC and logging into your account (2 monitors 1080p both, attached to the PC. I have OBS on the monitor next to the main monitor):
C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --startreplaybuffer --disable-shutdown-check
Anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the startup path using obs64.exe from the shell:startup folder on Windows 10 with --startreplaybuffer and --disable-shutdown-check. Review the linked OBS log and memory dump alongside the two-monitor setup; done means OBS starts without freezing when the replay buffer autostarts.
