    @Haduksta check your windows for errors.
    SFC - Windows Health Check

    Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
    Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
    When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
    Use the following command lines, pressing Enter after each
    (make sure you wait till each of the commands is executed properly):

    sfc /scannow
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    reboot

    Pre download latest gpu drivers. Disable nternet connection.
    For clean install gpu drivers ya need to uninstall them by using windows apps in normal mode Then boot in safe mode and delete any gpu leftovers with DDU.
    Reboot pc without internet connection into normal mode and install your gpu drivers. (do not activate internet till gpu driver is installed, else windows will install microsoft gpu drivers).
    Reboot again and enable internet connection , test game.

    I will. Windows update is a joke on 10 and 11...breaks more than it fixes 😂

    Doing a full format and blocking windows update with sledgehammer (can download from majorgeeks.com) worked and all games are running normally as they should! The culprit was a broken windows update
