Hello!

A few games are crashed after a few minutes of gaming. The mouse got stuck for a few seconds after I'm able to alt+tab but the game process is not responding.

I found the following errors and warnings in the Windows event logs:

**-the first one:**Warning 7/18/2022 8:46:11 PM WHEA-Logger 17 None

    I changed out motherboard (different manufacturer), CPU, Memory, GPU with both Win10 and Win11 and never found the cause. The two GPU's I had was an RTX 4090 and a RTX 3090 Founders Edition. Nvidia has been able to duplicate the issue on two different systems but have not been able to identify the cause... For now I'm running an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

    Only the native driver (installed during setup) for Win11 and Nvidia driver version 532.03 did not cause the error on boot...

    Confirmed this fixed the issue for me. Crashing on Sekiro and GTAO. Also found that if you're using wallpaper engine, make sure you go through settings and turn off hardware acceleration on there too. In fact turn it off on EVERYTHING, browser included.
