OBS "Unable to Write to C:/User/username/videos" Error

[Hoxton]

So i wanted to take a small recording of something in OBS. Using the Game Capture option, i get this error saying it was unable to write a .mp4 file in my video folder in my C drive. Im no expert in coding or what any of this means.

The Full "Error": "Unable to Write to C:/User/username/videos/2024-06-06 18-19-22.
Make sure you're using a recording path which your user account is allowed to write and that there is sufficient disk space.

If windows 10 ransomware protection is enabled it can also cause this error. Try turning controlled folder access in windows security/ virus & threat protection settings."

I have a crash log but i dont want to post it in the actual discussion starter, so if anyone is curious i can post it.
Whats odd is that im running windows 11 and not windows 10 and when i launch OBS from steam and look at the details of what and where its trying to run from, i see this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam\steamservice.exe" /installscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\OBS Studio\runasadmin.vdf" 1905180.

I dont press Yes to have it make changes cuz it could be some virus or something or it might be paranoia. Anyone can help me?

Small note: used shadow play (GeForce Experience) to do the recording and when i went to delete the small clips it said i needed admin privilege to delete the videos. i deleted the videos with admin privilege and restarted my PC. Went to delete a old recording and no pop up of needing admin privilege was there. Odd.
