I've been experiencing this same crash going on with other games such as POE2 and Last Epoch, but i'm able to "fix" it by right clicking the game in Task Manager and running it on Efficiency Mode. Is this an Intel issue and I'm stuck doing this "fix" on all games, or a Win11 issue?
 
Windows updates will often replace your Nvidia driver with a "Windows certified" driver that is missing 3/4 of the features the game requires to run. After any major Windows update, you are advised to perform a Clean Installation of Nvidia drivers. Clean install is under the advanced options when running the driver install.
 
I've never experienced this before with Windows, or seen it happen. Is this some setting people use? (regarding Sylen's comment, still learning the new forums)

I've only seen Windows Update replace GPU drivers if you have never directly installed the drivers from the manufacturer, or if the drivers installed are really outdated. I've never had it replace drivers that are even a year old. However, I do always use the certified drivers from the manufacturer, so that might be the reason. If you installed early release uncertified drivers, Windows Update may replace those. I'm not sure about that. Of course, I also haven't used Nvidia in over a decade, so it might be something different with those drivers, and I'm on Win10, so it could also be a new thing for Win11.

Nah definitely not a win 11 or win 10 thing. I use nvidia studio drivers, never had windows replace my drivers ever in my 3 machines. Ubuntu has in the past heh, it likes to force the community driver onto me. And yeah I'd say if windows does do that, you've some serious issues in your driver that wouldn't be usable so it installs the basic driver, which afaik is the only time it would do that.
