OBS Preview Windows keeps freezing, tried all the fixed I could find but nothing has helped

Hey, around last week I noticed an issue where my obs preview windows would suddenly freeze and unfreeze at random and especially when tabbing in and out from different windows. It dosen't affect the output nor does it seem to hinder me from moving items in the window (though I can't see what I'm doing).
I can't find a correlation between an action I did and the issue appearing, I'm guesssing it's some update. I've tried all the suggested fixed I've found in forums:

-Running as administrator
-Checking Updates/Drivers
-Installing an older version of OBS
-Disabling HAGS
-Disabling FreeSync/Variable refresh rate
-Disabling Game Mode
-Disabling optimizations for windowed games
-making sure the application is in high performance mode
-allowing it in the windows defender firewall

I even tried doing a fresh install of windows but no dice. Any help with this matter would be greatly apreciated since I've lowkey been going mad trying to ressolve this issue.
Also I'd like to note that the game I'm trying to stream "The Finals" also stopped working with game capture only recording audio but displaying nothing. It works with window capture but it's annoying since it used to work without issue.

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RX 7800 XT
MotherBoard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI (MS-7E26)
OS: Windows 11 pro

(note this is on a fresh install of OBS just to test)

Hi, I'm having the exact same issue! No matter what I do, OBS will keep freezing the preview window and it will randomly unfreeze for a minute then back to being frozen. I've tried everything, if you find a fix or if someone else does, please let me know!
