Hi guys.
I discovered a compatibility issue between Windows Server and OBS.
When running OBS on Windows Server (2019, 2022), the CPU load increases to ~95%. However, broadcasting or recording is not enabled.
Tell me how to fix this?
Thank you very much!

OBS needs a physical GPU. If you’re connected with rdp, an emulated GPU is provided by Windows that lacks all accelerated graphics operations required by OBS.

Koala, thanks for your answer.
I have VMware Workstation installed and three virtual machines: Win 10, WinServer 2019 and WinServer 2022.
No problem with Win10:
OBS pending = 10% CPU
OBS recording enabled = 50% CPU.
WinServer 2019 and WinServer 2022 — OBS pending = 98% CPU.
The processors and RAM are the same.

Guys, I wanted to add:
if nothing is played, then the CPU load is minimal. And if a VLC playlist or media source is played, then the load reaches 98%
