Whenever I stop my recording, OBS lags out and causes my entire laptop to lag out and become exponentially slower. I can't figure out how to fix it. Videos become laggy and don't run properly, but really short videos run fine. All I'm recording is Roblox too, so what's the issue? I have a log of my recording https://obsproject.com/logs/fppadTj1rw6iVOzo

1. OBS is not running as Administrator. Because of this, OBS will not be able to Game Capture certain games, and it will not be able to request a higher GPU priority for itself -- which is the likely cause of the render lag you are currently experiencing. Run OBS as Administrator to help alleviate this problem. To run OBS as Administrator, right click on the OBS shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
2. Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.
Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.
If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.

3. If still having issues try recording at 30 FPS. If that doesn't help, set canvas/base, output, your monitor and game to 720 and still try recording at 30 FPS.
