War thunder freezing with a small chance of crashing when alt tabbing

Hi. I recently started playing war thunder (love it) but i have an issue. I wanna use windowed borderless but when i do there is a chance that my game freezes when i alt tab. When it unfreezes it says in the top left that my video driver hung. I dont have this issue in any other games and i have tried reinstalling gpu drivers through nvidia app and doing a DDU (display driver uninstaller (basically removes and cleans out all your gpu driver stuff)) but it still doesnt help. It even has a chance to just fully crash my game. Its fine in fullscreen but i would want to use windowed borderless as i only have one monitor so i want the discord overlay but it doesnt work in fullscreen and i have to use windowed borderless for it to work. My OBS also struggles to capture war thunder when its in fullscreen and alt tabbing when my game is in fullscreen takes ages. I have done some research and there are alot of other people with this same issue that have posted both here on reddit and on the war thunder forums from now all the way back to as far as 8 months ago. Any help will be appreciated.
