Failed to open NVENC codec

Hello,

since I updated my OBS to version 28.1.2 i am getting this error.

Does somebody know whats going on, because I already deactivated ShadowPlay and Game DVR.

Here's a log file:

Try restarting your computer (not just turn off and on)

You are trying to use GPU 4 but you only have a single GPU in your system. Set it back to 0.

Thank you!
I must have accidentally changed that and did not notice

I just updated mine today & when I tried to stream it says "Failed to open NVENC codec. Function not implemented. Please check your video drivers are up to date"

To help anyone with this problem, if nothing said until now didn't work for you, try to see if the encode HEVC is selected on the recording tab, if it is selected, change for NVENC, apply and it should work.

I am having this same issue. Unfortunately my recording setting is already set to NVENC, and the proper GPU is selected. Any other solutions?
