If the latest Nvidia driver you have is 572.16 then there are known issues with it:
Can’t use fullscreen window, because game appears in wrong, stretched resolution since last updates.

The bug has been present since last August.
But the moderators always say, ‘That didn’t happen on my PC.’ but nothing has been done to solve it.
It’s already been six months since this problem.
I have been suffering for six months.
Please give up.

My game is broken since Firebirds.
i have this issue too. My game crashes and gives an error every time I alt-tab. I’m using an MSI GeForce Ventus 3060. My drivers are ok.
I’ve been having this issue since I updated to 24H2 in January. Most of the time game would simply freeze, sometimes when first freeze happens game might unfreeze leaving you with message “Driver hang up and was restarted”.
At first it happened only in WT because I mostly played it, but later similar stuff started happening in Dota 2, Godot engine, other games and even while watching movies in browser. I’ve been trying to search on the internet and found some posts reporting exact or very similar issue that also started happening around 24H2 Windows 11 update.
This issue might (or might not) somehow be related to “Optimizations for windowed games” and “Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling”, for example disabling “optimizations for windowed games” for War Thunder makes so that instead of freezing game crashes with fatal error message like what user above posted. I haven’t tried disabling second option, just saw it mentioned in posts around similar issues.
It’s a very annoying problem that been reported in various games and even windows tech support forums for month but they still haven’t fixed or even acknowledged it which is very frustrating.
Just to add more info: my GPU is GTX 1650 with driver version 566.36 and I’m on Windows 11 24H2 and this issue happening for me
