Expected Behavior

I wanted to start obs and test my new alerts

Current Behavior

My OBS Studio keeps freezing after the start. They helped me for a long time on the OBS Discord. They replaced the user.ini, renamed folders, and updated Nvidia Video Effect. By chance, I then discovered that if I disable the Twitch Activity Feed dock, my OBS no longer freezes. I also reset the docks and reconnected to Twitch, but as soon as I use the Twitch Activity Feed dock again, my OBS freezes again.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. You must have the Twitch activity feed dock enabled
    2.If you start OBS a few times, either normally or in safe mode, it freezes. Sometimes you're lucky and it doesn't freeze.
    3.If you close the twitch activity feed dock the error is gone and you can start obs studio anytime without freezing, but with the twitch activity feed you can restart obs studito as often as you want it almost always freezes
    ...
Anything else we should know?

Using Windows 11 with all updates, all drivers are up to date and I used nvidia video effects. I´m using a rtx 2070 super, 32gb ram and ryzen 7 3700x

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked OBS log and crash log, then reproduce startup with the Twitch Activity Feed dock enabled on Windows 11, comparing runs with the dock disabled. Done means OBS starts reliably without freezing while the activity feed dock remains enabled.
