Hey :) this is the issue everyone is having, which is why I fixed it in my fork https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui

On windows download yt-dlp.exe from here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases

And copy it on: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries\

Or if you use the portable version, copy it on the autogenerated folder.

And voila
