What are obs64.exe Error Messages?


obs64.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are OBS Studio errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when obs64.exe is attempted to be loaded either when OBS Studio is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using OBS Studio.

In most cases, obs64.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these obs64.exe error messages mean that OBS Studio was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, OBS Studio will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common obs64.exe errors include:

  • obs64.exe - Bad Image.
  • obs64.exe Application Error.
  • obs64.exe could not be found.

System Error


The program can’t start because obs64.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the obs64.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting obs64.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using OBS Studio. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of OBS, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of obs64.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix obs64.exe Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your obs64.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many obs64.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve obs64.exe problems.

Download obs64.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying obs64.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Broadcaster Software typically does not release OBS Studio EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing obs64.exe and all other EXE files for OBS Studio. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
