Not sure how to check what operating system your computer is running? Here is a short tutorial by Microsoft that shows you how to check it. In this case, you will need to revert to the last version of OBS that did support the OS you use.
If you are still using these older operating systems, then you will not be able to use the latest version of OBS Studio. Due to the UI Framework being updated to a new version, OBS Studio no longer supports the following operating systems for Version 28 and later: Advertisements This post was written just a short time before the release of OBS version 28, which has a major code change that limits what operating systems it can run on. But, of course, there is an exception to this. The only thing that has hindered me in the past is user error.Īs a result, I strongly recommend keeping OBS updated to the latest version to ensure the best possible experience for your audience. I have always been able to click the Start Streaming button and go live. I have never been adversely affected by an update in my two years of streaming on Twitch using OBS Studio.

You will likely escape the loss of your precious setup.īy the way, I do recommend creating a backup of that folder once you’re happy with your streaming scenes, just in case. AdvertisementsĪs your profiles, scenes, and sources are saved in a separate folder %appdata%\obs-studio This is usually the last resort method because it does take the longest out of the three methods to update OBS. If you need to update and you have some sort of error during the update process (say you had some sort of power loss or something), then you may need to download a fresh copy of OBS Studio.
