"Video driver hung and was restarted" after latest Nvidia driver update

Started happening to me yesterday, only thing that changed was a game update for the new battle pass.

War Thunder started hanging at startup of a game after the April 30 2025 update. Win11 PC, no other HW or SW changes. Sigh.

I uninstalled the graphics card driver using DDU and installed the latest graphics card driver, but still cannot solve the problem.

"This happens to me when I Alt+Tab between War Thunder, Spotify, . I have an RTX A4000 graphics card with the latest Studio drivers. And its no black screen no window flashing just game freezes for 10 seconds and says “the video driver hung and was restarted(texture quality was reduced)”
