Expected Behavior
OBS Studio should launch normally on system startup.
Current Behavior
OBS started with the "Unclean shutdown detected!" dialog. I had to select "Run normally" to use it afterwards.
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable System Tray with the "minimize to system tray when started" option
- Reboot system while OBS is minimized to system tray
- "Unclean shutdown detected" dialog appears
Anything else we should know?
I tried to isolate the issue because I am using scripts to simulate global shortcuts under Wayland so the WebSocket Server is enabled. Additionally I use the advanced scene switcher plugin.
With those two disabled I still get the "unclean shutdown detected" dialog on launch.
I use CachyOS with KDE Plasma on Wayland.

Research direction
Start with the linked OBS Studio log and reproduce the reported sequence on CachyOS with KDE Plasma on Wayland: minimize OBS to the system tray, reboot, and launch it. Compare startup behavior with the system-tray option enabled and disabled; done means a normal launch without the "Unclean shutdown detected!" dialog after this shutdown path.
