If you're running OBS Studio in portable mode on Windows, you've probably noticed that the Elgato Stream Deck plugin stops working after an update. That's because OBS portable mode doesn't load plugins from the default system installation folder — and manually fixing it means digging through C:\ProgramData every single time.
I built a free Windows tool that automates the entire setup in under 30 seconds.
✅ Automatically detects and safely closes OBS before copying files
✅ Folder browser dialog — no manual path typing required
✅ Copies all required Stream Deck plugin files to the correct OBS portable directories
✅ Handles both obs-plugins\64bit and data\obs-plugins automatically
✅ Tested on Elgato Stream Deck 7.2.1 + OBS Studio 32.0.1 + Windows 11
Whether you're a Twitch streamer, YouTube creator, or just someone who prefers OBS in portable mode, this tool saves you the headache of manually reinstalling the Elgato Stream Deck OBS plugin every time Stream Deck updates.
